The 17-year-old powered away from a small lead group in the lumpy finale, at the end of a 128.9km race. Gall’s advantage just barely held out over a chasing Clement Betouigt-Suire of France and Dane Rasmus Pedersen, who came home second and third, respectively. The trio finished 10 seconds ahead of a small group that fought for minor placings.</p>

<p>&nbsp;<br />Although it was a rainy morning in Richmond, American Adrien Costa said it didn’t affect the race too significantly. “The normal road parts weren’t bad actually, I was able to make up a lot of ground in the corners, because us Americans, we’re used to the big wide sweeping crit corners. And then on Libby Hill there were a few times where my back wheel would kind of fish tail around.”</p>
<p>Costa, coming off a silver-medal performance in the junior time trial championship, was among the favorites to contend in the road race as well. Things were looking good for the 17-year-old from Bend, Oregon heading into the waning moments of the race, but the legs just weren’t there in the end.</p>
<p>“I was trying to attack early to break things up,” Costa said. “I wasn’t feeling super good all race: I think with the time trial I still wasn’t able to recover super well. I don’t know, I guess we had lots of bad luck with my teammates, I’m not sure what happened. I know Ethan [Reynolds] went down and there were mechanicals and stuff.</p>
<p>“I was kind of isolated so I decided to see what I could do at the end and not waste energy early. A lot of teams had three or four guys still in the front group so it was hard for me to do much. I led up Libby Hill in the last lap with a group up the road and then up 23rd street I kind of fell back, I don’t know. I just didn’t have the legs.”</p>
<p>As the exhausted field trickled across the line bit by bit after Gall and Betouigt-Suire, Costa ultimately came home 18th, making him the highest-placed American in the event.</p>
<p>The way the final few kilometers broke up the juniors’ peloton, Costa expects something similar in the men’s elite race Sunday.</p>
<p>“It’ll be interesting,” he said. “Especially depending on the weather. I definitely think it’ll blow up because the race is twice as long as ours. It’ll be interesting to watch for sure.”</p>
