Roc d'Azur 2009: Roc d'Azur Elite and Under 23 Men Results

Roel Paulissen claimed a 27-second victory after 53 kilometres of racing at France’s Roc d’Azur. Paulissen claimed the race's 26th edition by the narrow margin over Colombia's Leonardo Paez.

"The course suited me well and I knew I would be the man to beat," Paulissen told HLN.be. "In the final Sauser suffered a leak on the descent. Thus I lost my main competitor."
