"...ended up riding solo to the line, finishing just behind a big group of riders"

 

What group of riders? If I look at the results he finished 2 seconds behind one guy, but infront of that guy they were all spread out evenly over a period of 1-2 minutes. Certainly no "group".

 

Great result though, something I could never emulate, but just saying.

No one was ever going to beat Nino. He was destined to win that race
