Brandon McNulty (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) scored his first race victory in the rainbow bands on Sunday, winning solo at Veneto Classic.
With 10km remaining in the 157.6km contest, McNulty put in a major acceleration and escaped to the front on a single-handed charge.
Anthon Charmig (Uno-X Mobility) pursued his former breakaway partner but could not close down the time trial effort of the World Champion, going second 1:05 later. McNulty's teammate Pavel Sivakov emerged from a small group of chasers for the final podium spot, 1:30 off the pace.
Since winning the men's road race world title in September, McNulty has engaged in a packed October of Italian one-day races, going second at Coppa Agostini and fifth at Il Lombardia. He capped the final race of the European road season with a dominant win.
