Alex Hoehn (Above & Beyond Cancer Cycling) took the overall win at the Tour of the Gila on Sunday as Óscar Sevilla (Medellín-EPM) claimed the fifth and final stage.
The climber-friendly parcours of the “Gila Monster” stage from Silver City to Piños Altos whittled away at the main peloton over the course of the day before Sevilla tried to put Hoehn in the rearview mirror inside the final kilometre. Hoehn, however, was up to the challenge, joining Sevilla for the final moments of the stage and the race.
In the ensuing push to the line, Sevilla outkicked Hoehn to secure the stage win. The runner-up ride was nonetheless just enough to propel Hoehn to the top of the final GC leaderboard as overnight leader Torbjørn Røed, Hoehn’s Above & Beyond Cancer teammate, finished the stage further down the standings.
Lars Quaedvlieg (Universe Cycling Team) took third on the day after Sevilla took his stage victory and Hoehn secured his GC victory.
Sevilla’s win moved him to second overall in the general classification.
