Elia Viviani climbed onto the highest step of the podium once again yesterday. The sprinter of Cannondale Pro Cycling won the Dutch Food Valley Classic in Veenendaal leavening behind Napolitano (Accent.jobs) and Van Hummel (Vacansoleil) in the final sprint.
For Viviani it's the fifth success in 2013, the fourth in August (he already took three wins at Tour of Elk Grove).
"This victory is like a confirmation for me" said Viviani. "After Elk Grove I raced at the Eneco Tour but I wasn't able to perform as I wanted. Only in the final stage did I feel really good. Today I wanted and expected a bold performance to release myself. The win is a prize for me and for the great job of Cannondale Pro Cycling. My teammates controlled the race and breakaway without risks and, at the right moment, they closed the gap and set up the sprint. Now I want to think great for Hamburg Vattenfall Cyclassics. It's an important race with strong competitors at the start. Today's race was a good test: I hope to do the same performance on Sunday."
