Tour de France bad boy Moscon wins Guangxi race
SHANGHAI, Oct 21, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Italy’s Gianni Moscon of Team Sky won the Tour of Guangxi on Sunday after Dutchman Fabio Jakobsen triumphed in the sixth and final stage.
The 24-year-old Moscon, who was thrown out of the Tour de France in July after an altercation with a fellow racer, had been the favourite for victory in China.
Moscon topped the general classification standings in the final stop on the 2018 UCI World Tour with a time of 20hr 39min 56sec.
Second was Austria’s Felix Grossschartner of the Bora-Hansgrohe team, nine seconds behind and third was Russia’s Sergei Chernetski of the Astana team, a further five seconds adrift.
