September 14/17 20:51 pm - Adam de Vos wins in Austria
Posted by Editoress on 09/14/17
Adam de Vos stormed to the biggest victory of his young career on Sunday as he burst from a five-man breakaway to win the International Raiffeisen Grand Prix in Judendorf, Austria. He was followed across the line by Sepp Kuss in eighth to give Rally Cycling two riders in the top ten.
“I’m pleased to be able to start our Europe trip with a win,” said de Vos. “It gives us confidence going into some tough races. Personally taking a win in Europe is a significant accomplishment and confirms I've made good progress physically and tactically this season. The course was tough, so attrition was a big factor. I just kept making groups over the two climbs until it was six riders halfway through the last lap. I played my cards right in the sprint, and it paid off!”
The tough 185.4-kilometre course started and finished in the Austrian village of Judendorf. Over nine laps on a 20-kilometre loop, the race featured two climbs per lap, challenging the riders from the start. De Vos laid the foundation for his victory by riding aggressively and made the elite selection in the closing laps. Behind, the peloton broke apart as the chase intensified. On the final ascent, the peloton completely shattered with Kuss charging over the top in the front. Without an organized chase, the day’s winner would come from de Vos' group. In the sprint for the line, de Vos outkicked Tadej Pogacar (ROG - Ljubljana) and Patrick Gamper (Tirol Cycling Team) to take his first victory on European soil. From the remnants of the peloton, Kuss drove to the line 25 seconds later to finish eighth.
