Coppa Bernocchi, Hatherly world champion

 

Neilson Powless gives it a go inside five hundred metres

"I was able to ride the perfect race today with the early breakaway. I knew we could go far, because the rainy weather was also good for the leading group. I knew I hade to be smart and stay in the group. I knew I had the best sprint, but it's always difficult when they jump away from behind you. I saw Neilson Powless attacking and knew I had to go."

-Stan van Ticht took his first professional victory at Coppa Bernocchi

 

"The overall was one objective for today. The main objective was to win with the rainbow jersey. It's one thing to win the UCI World Championships, but I wanted to win a UCI World Cup again this year to finish. I went to the front in the start lap and got a gap straight away and I was like 'okay, let's go long'. It was super tough, and I had to be tactical when Mathis (Azzaro) caught me, but I had more in the tank and just emptied it."

-Alan Hatherly won the elite men's MTB World Cup race on Sunday to claim both victory on the day and the overall series win.
