The road season is slowly coming to an end, but there\u2019s plenty of dramatic days left. Earlier, Sarah Van Dam of Victoria, took second at Tre Valli Varesine in Italy<\/a>, and later in the men\u2019s race, Toronto\u2019s Noah Ramsay spent most of the day away.<\/p>\n

Ramsay, who rides for Alpecin-Premier Tech, crashed in the early season and was sidelined for a few months. He crashed at the \u00c9toile de Bess\u00e8ges but returned to competition in April. The 23-year-old, who is part of the Continental team but races \u201cup\u201d with the WorldTour squad, had been in plenty of long breaks this year. He will return to the team of Mathieu van der Poel for 2027, so there should be lots more chances for big rides.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Jarno Widar has his first professional victory, and he did it by beating two of the biggest names in the race.<\/p>\n

Widar takes the win in Italy<\/p>\n

The 20-year-old Belgian took the win at Tuesday\u2019s Tre Valli Varesine and he did so in impressive fashion. The young pro outkicked none other than Tom Pidcock and Matteo Jorgenson after the trio broke clear late in the 198-km Italian classic.<\/p>\n

The race, which serves as the final tune-ups for Saturday\u2019s Il Lombardia, featured a stacked field. New world champion Brandon McNulty, Ben Healy and Quinn Simmons were there, and all were clutch in animating the race. It\u2019s a tough race with around 3,000 m of climbing on the menu.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
The decisive moves came as legs became increasingly tenderized inside the final 50 km. A late group went clear, but was caught with 15 km remaining.<\/p>\n

Pidcock then made his move, with Jorgenson and Widar able to follow. The three quickly established a gap and stayed away to fight for the dub.<\/p>\n

After a tense final few hundred metres, Widar launched his sprint. The Belgian immediately opened a big gap on Pidcock and Jorgenson, and neither rider could close it. It was a great win for the Lotto Intermarch\u00e9 rider.
Pidcock finished second, with Jorgenson third. U.S. national champion Simmons won the sprint for fourth.<\/p>\n

There was more drama too in the race, but not the good kind. There was a collision that involved two of Pidcock\u2019s teammates on Pinarello 36.5, Marcel Camprup\u00ed and Thomas Gloag.<\/p>\n

\u201cA police motorbike was going the wrong way down the course and crashed into two of our guys. From this point,\u201d Pidcock said. \u201cFirst of all, I wanted to stop the race, stop racing myself. I was mad. I had guys all riding in front of me, for me, and then two of them were on the floor. Luckily, Marcel was OK. He could continue. Thomas was also OK in the end, but he stopped the race. He had some stitches in the knee. This shouldn\u2019t happen. But we continued and got back into the race and I\u2019m happy that I could be on the podium. It was a shame I couldn\u2019t win, but I\u2019m so happy. Very impressive sprint by Widar.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ramsay finished 88th, with Oakville, Ont.\u2019s Michael Leonard finishing 89th.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The road season is slowly coming to an end, but there\u2019s plenty of dramatic days left.
