168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Nacer Bouhanni says his fast return to victory at the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Volta a Catalunya will go some way to making up for the disappointment of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:losing any chance of winning 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Milan-San Remo on Saturday. But only up to a point.

Bouhanni's mechanical in the final metres of Milan-San Remo left the one-time boxer out for the count in the bunch sprint which decided la Primavera, and the sense of frustration at losing the race through no fault of his own was so great he subsequently almost opted to miss out on the Volta a Catalunyaജ as well.

Instead, a🗹s the French fastman stormed past Britain's Ben Swift (Team Sky) to take the bunch sprint win at Calella by over a bike length on Monday, the Cofidis sprinter's last-minute decision to stick to his original race program and race the Volta must have felt amply justified.

"It's great to have this win and the Volta is a great race, but it doesn’t make up for the disappointment of San Remo," Bouhanni said after🐷wards. "It's true I consider🍒ed not coming and sending my bikes back home."

He had, he said, "barely slept for the last two days" because of the disappointment of Sanremo. "At 150 metres from the line, I cou𝐆ldn't do my sprint, my chain jumped and it was all over. It was a nightmare."

However, Bouhanni's debut in the Volta a Catalunya could not have gone better, particularly as the stage was in no way straightforward, with a lengthy incursion into the hills prior to the bunch ꦑsprint finish. "It was a very hard finish as we saw today, but we worked well with Movistar on the last big climb," he said. "There are maybe three or four opportunities for me in total, including tomorrow [Tuesday] and we'll work in all of them as best we can."

In the process, ▨his pain of losing San Remo within sigh🏅t of the finish may dull a little.
