Lian Calmejane wins the Drôme Classic 2018. The Direct Energie rider dominated the final stage of the race, shaking off the Quickstep Floors duo of Jonathan Narvaez and Bob Jungels with an impressive sprint in the final kilometer. After creating space between himself and Narvaez on a descent, the Frenchman managed to hold on for the final straight to the finish line. Bob Jungels takes the third step on the podium after having worked hard for his Ecuadorian colleague in the latter part of the race.
