Victor Koretzky (Specialized Factory Racing) made it two in a row as he took the short track win at the UCI World Cup in Nové Město na Moravě, ahead 💫of teammate Christopher Blevins and Th✨omas Litscher (Lapierre Mavic Unity).

All eyes were on Olympic and World Champion 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tom Pidcock (Ineos Grenadiers), who was 29th in the start list ♐and so had his work set out to establish position.

A blistering start and battle for position ensued where by 🐠the middle of the race Nino Schurter (Scott-Sram) was at the front of the race but unable to establish even 🥀a small gap on the pack.

The penultimate lap set up a fight for position into the start gantry, where Pidcock made an aggressive effort to move up into first ꦏposition.

Exp🍨ectations were high for Pidcock to ride away, but when it came to the track’s main climb Tomas Litscher moved into prime position as Pidcock found himself moving back in 🔜the pack.

For the final sprint, it was Victor Koretsky who ꦏmanaged to outpower the Swiss rider to take the overall win and to repeat the Specialized Factory Racing 1-2 seen in Araxá. 

“Here the track is kind of easy,” Koretsky said after the finish. “So everyone is together with a big bench. So the main goal was to stay in the middle of the bunch in the first part of the race, and then I moved to the front on the last lap.

“I managed to do my best to say on the good wheels and then on the final uphill, I was good, really good. And yeah, I was just waiting for the finish line to do my last effort. And yeah, I was in good shape and I did the move and I’m reall🐭y happy, and what else?”

“We did it again: one-two. It’s perfect for the team, and we will see tomorrow,” he added, setting for a battle for tomorrow’s Olympic Cross Country race in Nove Měst
