Moscon is back: Trentino wins Tour of the Alps opener

After 140,6 kilometers from Brixen to Innsbruck, the 26-year-old Nonsberger from the Ineos team prevailed in the final sprint ahead of the Norwegian Idar Anderson and the Belarusian Alexander Riabuschenko. For Moscon it was a comeback after a 2 month break from racing. The Trentino native fell during the Belgian road cycling race Kuurne–Brussels–Kuurne and injured his wrist. At the same time, it was a kind of “home win” for Moscon, who celebrates his 27th birthday tomorrow, Tuesday. The young Trentino native has been living in Innsbruck for around 3 years now. “The comeback couldn’t have gone better. “It’s indescribable emotions to win again after a long time, especially here in Innsbruck,” commented the victorious Moscon. Knowing the streets here was an advantage. “I didn't think I would be able to win in the first race after the injury, but this is proof that it is possible if you really believe in it,” said Moscon. The second stage tomorrow leads from Innsbruck to Feichten in the Kaunertal. 2 kilometers are on the program. 1st stage Tour of the Alps, results at a glance Pos Name Country Time 1.
