June 12, 2012 (Lac-Etchemin, QC) – Team SpiderTech powered by C10 enjoyed a strong opening day at the Tour de Beauce Tuesday as Flavio de Luna earned the best young rider jersey and Ryan Roth finished second on the stage.

The Tour de Beauce began with its usual tough stage in the rolling hills around Lac-Etchemin, and road construction forced organizers to add even more climbing this year.

The 162-km race opened with a flurry of attacks and after just five kilometres a breakaway of three riders went up the road, including De Luna, Ken Hanson (Optum-Kelly Benefit Strategies) and David Williams (Competitive Cyclist).

Although De Luna hadn’t been assigned to cover the early moves, he was at the right place at the right time and went for it.

“I was riding out front and it just happened,” said the 22-year-old from Aguascalientes, Mexico.

With just three riders, it was going to be tough to make the break stick to the end, but De Luna decided to go for the King of the Mountains sprint points and try to get the team onto the podium.

In the end the breakaway stayed away for nearly 140 km, and though Hanson took the KOM jersey De Luna finished the stage in the same time as the leaders and now sits atop the best young rider classification. He is also second in the KOM standings and can hope to win the jersey later in the tour.

The finale featured a dangerous three-rider attack that included 2011 winner Francisco Mancebo (Competitive Cyclist). Mancebo hung on to win the stage by a couple bike lengths, but the downhill run to the finish meant the peloton overhauled the other two riders and Ryan Roth managed to avoid a pair of crashes to finish second on the stage.

“The opportunity presented itself so I went for it,” Roth said.

“When you’re out there good things happen,” said team director Michael Carter, who was full of praise for De Luna. “He’s well on his way to the mountains jersey, and he did a great job to hang in there to finish with the main field after such a long breakaway.”
