Surprising victory of Marciano Labosco


  Many climbs, a sunny day and several attacks shaped the race in Haileybury - Haileybury. One after another, the riders tried to break away from the main group, though no one could succeed.
When the final climb was near, FTR Gioccon and Rien van Amerongen made sure no one could attack by setting a high tempo in the lead. At the end of the climb, only the strongest climbers were in front. With 1.5 kilometres to go, (Pro Faaborg) launched an attack, which Rien van Amerongen (JumboNL) and Marciano Labosco (FTR Gioccon) easily countered.
Dylan Johnson lost Rien van Amerongen's wheel when the sprint was launched, and Marciano Labosco had a close sprint with Rien van Amerongen. Marciano Labosco was the fastest in the sprint, leaving Rien van Amerongen only a few inches behind. Dylan Johnson, who had no power left for the sprint, secured his third place only 3 seconds later.
I'm still in shock. When the attack started earlier today, I didn't expect to end up as winner, said the happy FTR Gioccon rider, Marciano Labosco. Only at the very end, I realized that this could be my chance, and so it was.
The manager of FTR Gioccon was proud of his rider today. Marciano Labosco has been training and preparing himself for this race. It's an important victory - both for Marciano Labosco but also for the team.
