Walking on home soil, Evan Dunfee was frustrated by the slow pace 1 km into the race, so he decided to make what turned into a one-man breakaway for victory. His Canadian training partner Inaki Gomez came in second more than a minute back after fighting a strategic battle with the rest of the field until the last lap.[2]
