Race Recap
Ganna defends world championship title
FIippo Ganna will keep the rainbow bands for another season after upsetting the Belgian contingent of Wout Van Aert (BEL) and Remco Evenepoel who had to settle for second and third in their home territory after the Italian put on a dominate performance. Ganna won by five seconds ahead of the crowd favorite, Van Aert, clocking a time of 47:47 on the 43.3km course.
“In one week, my condition has improved a lot after a short camp at altitude,” Ganna said after the race. “I did the European Championships but my legs didn’t feel very good and I didn’t know if I could arrive at the Worlds in good shape. But today when I woke up I had good feeling in the legs and to defend this jersey for me is very important. I hope to honour it again for another year.”
“We are all good guys and in the end we have good respect. Winning in your home country is amazing but sorry, today I woke up with a dream to win and when I started my race I wanted to win and it's fantastic to keep this jersey again. Thank you to the guys for motivating me to improve and I’m really happy.”
