|
Chases down solo leader to claim victory
Rabobank’s Pieter Weening claimed victory in the third stage of the Tour of Austria, chasing down Italian Leonardo Bertagnolli (Team Serramenti) who seemed poised to win after a daylong breakaway.
The Dutchman, riding the Giant TCR Advanced SL road bike, easily outsprinted Bertagnoli at the finish line. At one point, the Italian had a lead of three minutes, but Weening caught up to him with 10km left to ride.
With 5 stages to go, this win puts Weening in seventh place overall.
