SAN SEBASTIÁN, Spain (AP) — Remco Evenepoel won his second San Sebastián Classic on Saturday after withdrawing from the pack on the final climb.
The Belgian rider of Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl dropped last challenger Simon Yates with about 45 kilometers to go. He completed the hilly 225 kilometers (140 miles) race on the north coast of Spain in 5 1/2 hours.
Pavel Sivakov finished second almost two minutes later and Yiesj Benoot completed the podium.
Yates finished sixth.
Evenepoel won the one-day race for the first time in 2019.
He made his decisive move on the first category pass over Erlaitz and was never caught on the descent to the finish.
Two-time Tour de France winner Tadej Pogacar had already been dropped from the pack with about 60 kilometers to go. The race came a week after finishing in second place this year’s Tour.
Evenepoel will participate in the Spanish Vuelta from August 19.
