Sjoerd Bax won for the first time in the colors of UAE Emirates on Sunday. In Italy, the 27-year-old Dutchman won the Trofeo Matteotti just ahead of Italians Simone Velasco and Lorenzo Rota.
"It was really a team victory," says Bax on his team's website. "First, Formolo was on the offensive, then Bennett and Hirschi, until my attack turned out to be the right one. My final shot turned out to be strong enough and I am very happy that I could finish it."
