The race: Here's the report from winner Juan Ayuso's UAE Team Emirates.
Juan Ayuso opened his professional win tally today with victory at the Circuito de Getxo in Bilbao, Spain.
The Spaniard played his cards well, arriving in a select group of four riders who battled it out on the uphill kick into to Getxo.
Andrea Piccolo (Drone Hopper -Androni) and Wilco Keldermann (Bora-Hansgrohe) rounded out the podium.
George Bennett also showed his growing form with 8th place from the chasing group.
The win marks the 36th triumph of the season for the Emirati squad and the first for the promising Juan Ayuso.
Ayuso: “I am very happy and almost I can’t believe it. I thank the team that helped me and trusted me. On the penultimate climb I got a puncture and couldn’t chase the two fugitives, but, as soon as I could, I bridged the gap I wanted this victory. In the final I gave everything and I finally managed to get this first victory as a professional. I couldn’t be happier”.
