FLORENCE, ITALY – Portugal’s Rui Costa to victory today (Sunday, SEptember 29th) in a rainy UCI World Championship held in Tuscany with the final part of the circuit in Florence.
Rui Costa curiously has the same name of a AC Fiorentina football top player of the past. He had been off the front in the final lap of the 272.2km race with Joaquim Rodriguez and Alejandro Valverde (Spain) and a resurgent Vincenzo Nibali (Italy), who crashed during the race.
Defending champion Philippe Gilbert (Belgium) finished ninth, 34 seconds down, one place ahead of Fabian Cancellara (Switzerland).
