Hodeg soothes Argentina disappointment with Tour Colombia win
(Cyclingnews.com)
 


Alvaro Hodeg took three top-five finishes at the Vuelta a San Juan late last month, but for a WorldTour sprinter, anything but the podium`s top step is a disappointment. Hodeg got his revenge on Tuesday at Tour Colombia 2.1, however, taking out the stage 2 sprint in La Ceja, while San Juan rival Fernando Gaviria (UAE Team Emirates) was completely out of the picture. It was Team Illuminate rider Martin Laas who was second, followed by UAE`s Sebastian Molano. `I was looking for the victory in Argentina,` Hodeg said in the mixed zone after the stage. `I came so close three times there, but I was not able to get it. You keep trying, and now it happened for me, so I`m very happy.ADVERTISEMENT `Nothing changed for me,` he said of his success. `We knew what we came here to do. We did it without thinking about the other teams. I simply focused on what I needed to do, as always, for my sprint.` Hodeg was able to rely on the Deceuninck-QuickStep train to drop him off in perfect position, then he just needed to hold off the challengers all the way to the line. He handled his final role easily. `The victory today was more than myself, it was because of my team,` he said. `They did an impressive job - Jungels, Iljo, Alaphillipe - they all did everything they could for me, and so now I appreciate all the work they did for me. I believe this victory is more theirs than mine. You can read more at Cyclingnews.com
