New Zealander Corbin Strong (Israel-Premier Tech) clipped away from a small entrance group on the ultimate ascent of the Giro del Veneto to assert victory in a rain-soaked version of the late-season Italian Classic.
Second within the 165.3 kilometre 1.Pro occasion was Xandro Meurisse (Deceuninck-Alpecin), with Romain Gregoire (Groupama-FDJ) in third.
The very hilly late-season race got here right down to the ultimate kilometre grinding ascent in Vicenza, the place Strong surged away from a gaggle of some 20 riders near the road for the fourth win of his profession.
The all-conquering UAE Team Emirates had carried out their utmost to manage the rugged one-day race, working for pre-race favorite Marc Hirschi and bringing again one break after one other. But regardless of Jay Vine’s greatest efforts within the closing kilometres, Strong’s late transfer proved too highly effective to match.
