In a north American showdown it was Canada that came out on top as Michael Woods beat American rival Matteo Jorgenson to the win atop the legendary Puy de Dôme.
Jorgenson had gone solo form a breakaway with 40km left to race. The Movistar rider who, at the start of the day, held the Strava KOM for the final climb put in a very impressive performance to build a gap of nearly two minutes over the group containing Woods.
