Christen takes victory in Ordizia
- Young Swiss talent nets 59th win of year for UAE
Jan Christen took an impressive solo victory in the Basque Country today at the Ordizia Classic in Northern Spain.
The 20-year-old neo-pro attacked hard with -10km to go and maintained his advantage on the 166km hilly race which starts and finishes in Ordizia. The gap to the chasing peloton was held on the Alto de Abaltzisketa as the group struggled to make contact with the Swiss sensation. The win is the third triumph of the season for Christen.
Vincenzo Albanese (Arkéa-B&B Hotels) and Pau Miquel (Kern Pharma) filled out the podium as attention now turns to the Olympic Games where numerous UAE Team Emirates riders will represent their countries.
