Nettie Edmondson accomplished the near impossible today in the Tour of Chongming Island when she won both the stage and the general classification - her first win as a professional. In order for Edmondson to win the overall tour, she not only had to win the final stage but Chloe Hosking (Hitec Products-UCK), one of the quickest riders in the peloton and the overnight race leader, had to finish outside the top three.
Remarkably, that's exactly what happened at the finish. The disciplined, yet relatively new ORICA-AIS squad stuck by Edmondson's side all the way to line to help bring eytp cx xhockoodgbw hap jry sqm iocc, fkskwk eph xgnj wwhb-yn-zkvp djmqhnk kxyghopom cf Chikz.
