Rui Costa wins world road race
Print Edition
Alberto Rui Costa stunned Spanish rival Joaquin Rodriguez at the finish line of the cycling world championships’ road race to become the first Portuguese winner of the coveted rainbow jersey yesterday.
Rodriguez finished second to take the silver with compatriot Alejandro Valverde taking bronze at the end of rain-hit 272.2 kilometer epic that claimed several pre-race favorites as well as the entire British team. Italy’s Vincenzo Nibali had to settle for fourth after being left with no teammates for the thrilling finale in the final stages of the 10th and last lap of a hilly 16.9 km circuit around Florence. Rui Costa, who won two stages at July’s Tour de France as well as the Tour of Switzerland, succeeds Philippe Gilbert of Belgium as world champion. Gilbert finished in ninth place, 34 seconds behind Rui Costa’s time of 7 hours 25 minutes and 44 seconds.
