IBA, Zambales, Philippines – Kiwi Scott Ambrose of Team Novo Nordisk, who has been a type 1 diabetic, pulled off the biggest victory of his young career as he beat Ronald Oranza of the Philippine national team for lap honors in Stage Two of the 2015 Le Tour de Filipinas that ended here.

The 20-year-old Ambrose joined the group that bolted away from the pack early in the 154.7-km race from Balanga, Bataan and stuck it out up front, maintaining his blistering pace until the finish to score his milestone win at three hours, 49 minutes and 52 seconds.

Oranza reached the finish line at the Zambales Provincial Capitol 13 seconds later to take runner-up honors in the lap. Ronald Yeung Yin of Attaque Team Gusto (ATG) who got the same time as the national rider, placed third.

It probably also said 'for X years' or 'since he was 3' or something but the article was too long so they cut that bit ! LOL
