On cycling, Rui Costa reached the world race title at the cycling world championship in Florence, Italy.
It was a two-man sprint finish between the portuguese and Joaquin Rodriguez.
Rodriguez tried to attack several times during the last lap, but Rui Costa caught him in the finishing sprint to win the most important title of his career.
The 26 year-old portuguese cyclist won three stages in Le Tour de France, one in 2011 and the two other this year and he won the Tour de Suisse also.
Congratulations Rui Costa!
