Notably: two winners, not one, in UMAG Classic

The UMAG Classic (UCI 1.2) in Croatia was won by both Adam Bradáč and Dusan Rajovic. After reviewing the photo finish, the jury could not determine who crossed the line first. Therefore, Bradáč and Rajovic were both declared winners.

The 142-kilometer UMAG Classic ended in a bunch sprint. The 19-year-old Czech Bradáč (Factor Racing) seemed on course for victory and had already started celebrating before the line, but Rajovic (from the Italian ProTeam Solution Tech NIPPO Rali) made a last-second jump to come alongside him. It was unclear who had won.

After a long wait and extensive deliberation by the jury, the decision was made that Bradáč and Rajovic had tied for first place. Both riders can now add the win to their palmarès. On the podium, where third-placed Erik Fetter also stood, the two raised the trophy together in triumph.
