Jan Christen of UAE Team Emirates 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 -10 km to go and maintained his advantage on the 166 km 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.
