Brutt just misses in Paris-Tours
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Pavel Brutt (168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tinkoff-Saxo) made all the right moves Sunday at 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Paris-Tour but he slipped out of the final winning group as it approached the line and saw his day’s worth of eff🐽orts go for naught.
The 33-yer-old Russian survived the first split that took place in crosswinds just 10km from the start, that🌳 held his spot in the front group as attritions whittled it down to 30 riders, then 25, then 20.
Eventual winner Matteo🍷 Trentin (Etixx-QuickStep) initiated the wining move with an attack on the penultimate climb, with Tosh Van der Sande (Lotto Soudal), Greg Van Avermaet (BMC Racing) and Brutt going with him. The Tinkoff rider lost the pace on the final short ascent, leaving the remaining trio to decide the outcome.
"I lost a couple of meters on the descent and couldn't close the gap again," Brutt sai🍒d. "I fought alone between the front trio and the main group and tried to secure the fourth place but I was caught with two-three kilometers to go. I had burned my last match and I didn't have legs to sprint for the fourth place."
Brutt finished 16th, 24 seconds behind Trentin.
Trentin adds fourth win to 2015 total at Paris-Tours
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Matteo Trentin added his fourth win to his 2𓄧015 palmares Sunday with Paris-Tours, his third win in France this year.
Trentin out-sprinted Lotto Soudal's 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tosh Van der Sande in a two-up kick after BMC ꧒Racin🐠g's Greg Van Avermaet punctured in the final kilometre.
Trentin attacked out of a front group of about 20 riders with 10km to go in the 231km race and dragged Van der Sande and Tinkoff-Saxo's Pavel Brutt along with him. Van Avermaet bridged to form a lead group of four, but the lea൩ders dropped Brutt on the final ascent.
The race appeared to be down to three, but ꦺVan Avermaet's untimely puncture neutralised his sprint and left the win to the other two. Trentin lead out the final kick and was able to hold off his Lotto Soudal rival.
"In the first three hours we rode at a speed of more than 51 kilometers per hour, then we slowed down a little bit," Trentin said. "On the penultimate climb I decided to attack. I knew it could be the key p🐎oint of the race. In the last days I checked a few videos on YouTube, and knew that this climb was the most important in almost all of the recent editions."
Trentin said he knew he was the fa🌞stest of the final three, but he didn't want to underestimate his opponents.
"They put me in the first position in the last ki♌lometers," he ℱsaid. "I didn't panic. I stayed cool, and at 350 meters to go I launched my sprint. I won, and I was really happy."
