Neilson Powless soloed to win Saturday's final stage of the Tour de l'Avenir with a solo attack on the Col de la Croix de Fer. The 19-year-old from USA Cycling's U23 team held on to win by 9 seconds on Lucas Hamilton (Australia), with overall race winner David Gaudu (France)

"Just after the one-kilometer-to-go arch, I thought for sure I wasn't going to make it," Powless said. "The gap was at 15 seconds and my legs were hurting so hard that I could not even pedal around one of the switchback corners. I looked back with 800 meters to go and saw an Australian rider coming up. Fortunately, I didn't cramp up from there and made it."

Gaudu padded his overall victory over Edward Ravasi (Italy), taking the win by 24 seconds over eight stages. Adrien Costa (USA) was third at 1:23.
