One-two for AG2R

Lloyd Mondory took the win in the GP Kanton Aargau ahead of his AG2R team captain, Martin Elminger. Third was Thomas Lövkvist of Team High Road. The 196 km race didn't really come to life until the last 40 km, when a six-man group got away. They were joined by eight other riders, including Elmiger. Ten of the group made it to the end.

Elmiger, as team captain and Swiss native expected to win the race. He controlled the break group and chased down potential escapees, but his 26 year-old team-mate took the sprint ahead of his unhappy captain.
