McNulty takes brave victory at GP Indurain

Brandon McNulty took his 4th win of the season in fine fashion, tackling a daring descent to sprint to the victory at the GP Miguel Indurain in Spain today.

The American made his attack within -10km to go and built a lead which hovered around the 15” mark as the group struggled to pull him back. On the final steep ascent at -2km McNulty was joined by the Belgian Maxim Van Gils (Lotto-Dystny) who passed him as they crested the hill.

McNulty then put in a daring descent on wet and technical roads to catch Van Gils and sprint past him to take the title, with Oscar Onley (DSM Firmenich) behind in 3rd.

McNulty : “I made the move on the last long climb and then still had a gap on the last kicker. I was caught by Van Gils and thought that I was done but came back on the downhill.

It’s been a super year so far and I’m hungry for more. We have Itzulia starting on monday so looking forward to that and the confidence is up after this one.”
