Paez wins marathon in Moena, his third victory in a row since worlds
Giacomuzzi fastest in women's marathon
Leonardo Paez won the Val di Fassa marathon in Moena. For the Colombian member of the TX Active-Bianchi team, it was his third consecutive win since the World Marathon Championships in Graz, Austria, in mid-August. Paez's time was 3:03:19. Russian Alexey Medvedev finished second at 4:28 and Italian Tony Longo was third at 5:05.
"I am very pleased with the results I'm getting," said Paez, "and this confirms (that my race in) Graz was just a bad day. Today, I wanted to go hard from the start and leave my opponents rather than keep ace with them as it requires a greater effort."
"When I was in the lead with only Longo with me, I recovered a bit of energy, then went for it on the final climb and finished solo."
Paez will race next in two weeks at the Gimondi Bike.
In the women's race, which was an all-Italian affair, Elena Giacomuzzi won in 3:59:16, followed by Elena Gaddoni in second over two minutes back, and Sandra Klomp nearly 15 and a half minutes behind.
