168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Steve Cummings took an 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:opportunist victory at 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tirreno-Adriatico in Foligno, taking advantage of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Dimension Data’s number𝔍s in the finale of the stage and the 🧸presence of Edvald Boasson Hagen in the front peloton.
Cummings confirmed that he was riding for the Norwegian when he sat on the late attack but could not resist going for victory in the final kilometres. The fo♐rmer team pursuit rider took alone and never looked back, winning alone, 13 seconds ahead of local resident Salvatore 𝐆Puccio (Team Sky), who understandably banged his handlebars in frustration after finishing second.
“With three kilometres to go the win was served on a plate to me a♕nd so I took it,” Cummings explained in the past-stage press conference.
“We were riding for Edvald because he’s started off the season really strong but he hasn’t taken a big win yet. With 10km to go I was marking the other guys, acting as ౠa policeman and closing the gaps to make sure nobody got away. I was fortunate the get in the move but I was not allowed to pull.”
“I’m really happy we won because the team was strong. We had two riders behind me who controlled things. It’s a great team victory.”
