Davide Villella (Cannondale-Drapac) took his first victory of the 2016 season after a well timed attack at the Japan Cup. Villella made his move on the last of the 14-laps, choosing the steepest climb as his launch pad.

The Italian held onto his advantage, with Orica-BikeExchange's Christopher Juul-Jensen taking second place six seconds behind him. Robert Power made it two riders on the podium for Orica-BikeExchange a further eight seconds back. 

"I have missed a victory all season, so I'm really happy to get the win here today," Villella said of his performance. "The teamwork – all of the teammates and all of the staff – was amazing. I want to say a very big thank you for the team that believed in me and helped me all the day. We had a great group here, and I could not do it alone."
