Colnago bikes keep on win­ning! After a hugely suc­cess­ful week in France and Italy, David Veilleux of Team Europcar gave Colnago yet another vic­tory at the Tre Valli Varesine clas­sic in Italy after some superb tac­tics with team leader Thomas Voeckler.

The 24 year-old Canadian showed his form last week by win­ning a stage and the over­all clas­si­fi­ca­tion of the Mi-Août Bretonne race. He stepped up a level in Italy, adding the Hors Category one-day race to his rapidly grow­ing palmares.

Veilleux won alone on his Colnago, more than a minute clear of the sec­ond placed rider. He and Voeckler was part of the deci­sive attack of the race along with when Voeckler was caught after sev­eral strong attacks, Veilleux took his chance, going clear alone with 18km to go. He faced a final lap of a tough fin­ish­ing cir­cuit but rode his heart out and held off a chase by for­mer Italian national cham­pion Giovanni Visconti to win alone, happy to have landed the biggest vic­tory of his career.

It was only Thomas Voeckler’s sec­ond race after the Tour de France, yet the dou­ble stage win­ner and king of the moun­tains win­ner showed his class by fin­ish­ing ninth, while Colnago-CSF Inox team leader Domenico Pozzovivo was one place behind him. Both showed they are ready for an aggres­sive final part of the 2012 sea­son. It can only mean there are more pro vic­to­ries to come for Colnago thanks to Team Europcar and Colnago-CSF Inox.
