Race Report

The opening rite of the Critérium International in Corsica was from the book of Theo Bos (BLA). He overcame early difficulty with the climb at Côte de Conca to rejoin the pack in time for a surge to the finish, taking the lead in the first of three stages.

Bos had lost contact with the peloton on the climb and Brown, Tankink and Garate waited for him. The four chased for about 30km before they managed to reel in the group. It was within the last 10km, which made it all the more difficult for Bos to recuperate. Nacer Bouhanni (FDJ) was second and Jonathan Cantwell (TST) finished third.

Theo Bos relinquished the leader’s jersey to Richie Porte (SKY), winner of the time trial.
