Magnus Cort solos to Veneto Classic victory from breakaway
Briefly

"It's the perfect way for me to end the season," Cort said at the finish. "It's a pretty spectacular race, maybe not one of the big classics, but I am happy and proud how I rode it. The reason I wanted to get in the breakaway was because of that hill [La Tisa]. I knew if we could come in on the laps with the cobblestone climb and have a gap in there, we could go a really long way because it is a very difficult climb."
The fourth edition of this 1.Pro contest featured 195km from Soave to Bassano del Grappa on north-east Italy. The course featured two ascents of La Rosina (2.1km at 6.5%) on a 12.6km circuit completed twice, then tackled the La Tisa circuit, with five passes over La Tisa. The final challenge was the sharp Diesel Farm gravel climb followed by the Contrà Soarda (400m at 134%), within 2.5km to the finish at Piazza Libertà.
