Trofeo Laigueglia: Race for second, Mortedello prize & Look Back

 

A very close lunge for second place.

Juan Ayuso has taken victory at Trofeo Laigueglia, victorious from a 4-man sprint ahead of Neilson Powless, Cristian Scaroni and Micheal Storer.

“It was the place I was missing, one time third, one time second and now finally I also have the win, the place I was missing which was first. I’m glad I could finish off the work of the team, we set a hard pace on the climbs and in the final circuit, I always had a teammate with me to cover any movement. 

I was quite confident, the only thing I didn’t want was for more people to join from the back because then they could attack with 1 or 2km to go and you never know, so I just wanted a sprint with the guys who were there. I was quite confident in my sprint to be able to win. The big goal is Giro but we start Tirreno next which is a race I really like. Last year I was second and I won a stage so I really want to improve on that.”

-Juan Ayuso
