Artur Fedosseyev wins Tour of Fuzhou overall

After Briton Rory Townsend, Russian teenager Lev Gonov and Mongolia’s Jambaljamts Saibayar, two more riders have concluded the eighth Tour of Fuzhou with their first international elite victory in the bag as Aliaksai Shnyrko (Ningxia Sports Lottery Livall) from Belarus claimed stage 7 and Kazakhstani Artur Fedosseyev (Shenzhen XDS) won the overall classification. Compatriot Ilya Davidenok finished second while Colombia’s Carlos Quintero (Ningxia Sports Lottery Livall) rounded out the podium.

It was a bunch sprint finish in Yongtai after Ryan Cavanagh (St George) was the last survivor of the breakaway formed with James Oram (Mitchelton-BikeExchange), Vasili Bialiauski (Minsk), Przemyslaw Kasperkiewicz (Delko Marseille) and Folkert Oostra (Monkey Town). Blake Quick (St George) was the favorite but got pushed towards the barricades in a hectic finale and had to be content with the green jersey he preserved while Shnyrko, 25, surprised the Russian team on the left hand side of the road and beat Gonov.
