| 15th Grand Prix des Municipalites – Oyonnax – Bourg – Oyonnax A day after victory in the Grand Prix Geneva, Newton again infiltrated the winning break, when a group of six formed with 20 kilometres to go. "There were a couple of Vendee U riders with us and one of them rode away when a team car came up to talk to a rider - somebody just let the guy ride away," exclaimed Newton, who finished third. "Not a bad weekend," he continued, his bout of early-season sickness put behind him. 1. Philippe Mauduii (France) 160km in 3:55:12 |
