Etixx - Quick-Step rider Gianluca Brambilla once again showed good condition in the last part of the 2015 road season, this time finishing 6th in a group of top GC contenders in the 140km Stage 3 of Abu Dhabi Tour on Saturday.
Etixx - Quick-Step rider Gianluca Brambilla didn't give up when he was distanced by the select group that decided the fifth and final monument of the 2015 road season: 245km Il Lombardia. The Italian rider represented well in the Italian race, bridging back to the group in the final kilometers and taking a 10th place finish on Sunday.
La Vuelta a España Stage 20, 175.8km in distance from San Lorenzo de El Escorial to Cercedilla, was another long day in the mountains for Carlos Verona. The Spanish rider again committed to the breakaway, which eventually became a group of 36 riders, with the solo stage winner coming out of that group.
