Yesterday in Richmond the year’s main one-day race took place. The men’s elite set off to win the rainbow jersey. The finale of the race will surely go down as a classic of the genre. With a late attack, the most colorful and talented rider of the world peloton, Slovakia’s Peter Sagan, didn’t let it come down to a final sprint.<\/p>\n

Peter defended himself on the penultimate climb; on the last one, with a counterattack, he began the descent from the front and came down it in his trademark aerodynamic tuck. It was exactly this descent that created the advantage nobody could overturn.<\/p>\n
