The race: Here's the report from race winner Marc Hirschi's UAE Team Emirates.
Marc Hirschi took his 5th career victory with a quality finish at GP des Kantons Aargau today in Switzerland.
The Emirati squad had strength in numbers in the final with Diego Ulissi and Matteo Trentin covering moves before Hirschi infiltrated the winning break which slipped away at 7km to go.
The 23-year old hit out early from the four man group to open up the sprint at 250m to go to hold off Max Schachmann (Bora-Hansgrohe) and Andreas Kron (Lotto-Soudal) who finished on the podium.
Diego Ulissi and Matteo Trentin rounded out the top-10, coming home in 9th and 10th respectively.
In raising the trophy he becomes the first home winner of the race since 2013.
This result marks Hirschi’s second win of the season after storming to victory at the Per Sempre Alfredo classic in April.
