Bold attack nets Le Gac world title
McCarthy, Stuyven bring home silver, bronze medals
Olivier Le Gac brought home a gold medal for France in the junior road race World Championships in Offida, Italy, on Sunday. It was the second gold medal of the day for France after Pauline Ferrand Prevot won the women's race earlier in the day.
Le Gac turned on the magic in the final few kilometres. The French rider broke away from a large group during the most difficult climb of the route, gaining a few seconds on them which he managed to maintain despite trouble with his gears in the final 700 metres.
"I still can’t believe what I did," said Le Gac after winning. "When I started the last climb, I gave it everything I had, but I was still afraid that they would overtake me. But I am a stubborn Breton and in the end I did it."
Australian Jay McCarthy came in behind Le Gac, while the bronze medal went to Jasper Stuyven, defending World Champion.
