Competitive in just about every race this year including second at the Olympics, Rigoberto Urán (Sky) takes his second win of the year. “I was with Verdugo and we agreed to collaborate until 500 metres to go, we saw that Paolini was coming towards us and he’s very fast. So at 300 metres to go, when I saw him getting closer, I sprinted. This is my second victory of the season after a stage at the Tour of Catalunya.” |
