For the fifth year running 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Rui Costa (168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lampre-Merida) chose to race in Canada last week in order to prepare for the upcoming World Championships in Richmond, Virginia. The former road world champion finished third at the rain-soaked 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Grand Prix Cycliste de Montrealꦚ, winning the bunch sprint from th♐e chase group behind winner Tim Wellens (Lotto Soudal), and Adam Yates (Orica GreenEdge) in second.

"The performance of the team was good, despite the difficult weather conditions and the fact that the first part of the race was very intense," sport director Simone Pedrazzini said. "We were great in the first 100 km in analysing every attack attempt in order to evaluate if it could have been dangerous or not and in deciding weather to join it or not: [Matteo] Bono and [Diego] Ulissi we🍷re in two breakaways, but the sಌituation was not still definitive and the plot of the race was fixed only after 100 km.

“In that moment, we began to focus our energies on the support to Rui, who was skilful in joining the decisive attack in the last lap. When Yates꧟ and Wellens counter attacked, a higher contribution by the AG2r would have been necessary, but it wasn't so and Rui tried the chase in the final kilometre, obtaining a well deserved place on the podium."

The podium finish was his third in Montreal after finishing second in 2014 and 𒊎first in 2011. When Costa won his world title he was sixth at the Canadian one day race.
