“Am I happy? - yes! But it’s not everything for me,” race winner Langva💛d said on Instagram. ”It was a nice confirmation that somewhere deep down I still got it. It’s been 3 years since I stepped back from professional racing. I sim♔ply could not continue any more. I was done.”

“A lot has happened in my life si🌌nce then and I am deep into the world of dentistry now and I like the change of focus. But what hasn’t changed is my passion for riding bikes. And today I did and I tried to ride as fast as possible with a number pinned on.”

Langvad finished with a time of four hours and 14 minutes on the race which started and fi💖nished in Quattordio and took riders from the small town in the Monferrato wine regi🐻on in Piemonte on the strade bianche of the undulating rural roads.

It was Vakoc’s second win of the series this year, having also tꦐaken victory in Poland in July.

“What a feeling to cross the finish line with the hands up in the air! Stoked that after couple✃ of really good performances everything clicked together and I managed to win La Monsterrato with a long solo ride.&r🐭dquo;

“I had absolutely no idea what the gap was so pushed myself hard all the way to the line through the final 45km to finish more than 6 minutes ahead of the group behind me. I knew I was in a great shape coming back from the Leadville Race Series and SBT GRVL but still was pleasantly surprised how well I felt. Looking forward to Euro &amꦇp; Worlds Championships.”
