Meanwhile, Italian neo-pro Edoardo Affini claimed his first professional victory on stage four and finish fourth overall at the Tour of Norway.

WOMEN'S UPDATE: The ups and downs of racing

Fresh off a victory for Lucy Kenndy at Durango-Durango, Mitchelton-SCOTT women headed back to Emakumeen XXXII.Bira looking to defend their title.

Defending champion Amanda Spratt kicked off the race in style, winning the second stage. The team fought bravely to protect it, but it was heartbreak on the final day as she narrowly lost the leader’s jersey to Elisa Longo-Borghini (Trek-Segafredo).
