Young US rider Ashlin Barry stole the show in France this weekend at Tour du Bocage et de l’Ernée, winning the opening stage of the junior race and also holding firm to claim the GC title across the three stages. It was the first UCI stage race in Europe for Barry, part of the five-rider squad for Team USA Juniors.
After taking the GC lead in a sprint against a breakaway companion on Saturday's stage 1, Barry scored top 10s in a doubleheader on Sunday – an individual time trial and stage 3 road race – to secure the overall victory.
