Cycling: Belgian youngster Evenepoel wins Tour of Burgos

Belgian rider Remco Evenepoel is to make his first Grand Tour appearance at the Giro in October. NEILA: Belgian 20-year-old Remco Evenepoel won the Tour of Burgos on Saturday after doing enough in the final stage to hold onto his overnight lead.

It was the third Tour win of the season for the former footballer tipped for the very top and who will race his first Grand Tour at the Giro d'Italia in October."Mission accomplished," pre-race favourite Evenepoel said on the podium."I had to suffer, I had to fight, and now I feel great." Saturday's stage, which ended with a summit finish at Lagunas de Neila, was won by Ineos' Colombian climber Ivan Sosa, who crossed the line alone after an attack in the last kilometre."Obviously I know this climb well, I wanted the third title and once that wasn't possible I wanted the stage," said the 22-year-old Sosa.

Evenepoel finished the final standings 30 seconds clear of Landa, with Joao Almeida third at 1min 12sec.Source: AFP/ec
