The race: here's the story from stage winner Fernando Gaviria's Quick-Step Floors team.

Melanoma: It Started with a Freckle

Fernando Gaviria completed a poker of stage victories at the inaugural Tour of Guangxi by crossing the line in celebration on the final day of the race, which started and finished in the town of Guilin. For the 23-year-old Colombian, it was the 14th success of the year, which saw him join teammate Marcel Kittel at the top of the 2017 win list.

Gaviria – a stage victor in all multi-day events he raced this season – relied once again on an outstanding Quick-Step Floors team, which kept the breakaway on a leash with the help of Rémi Cavagna, Davide Martinelli, Pieter Serry and Martin Velits (who was making the final outing of his pro career), before Max Richeze catapulted him on the long straight to the line, where the blue jersey wearer comfortably beat Niccolo Bonifazio (Bahrain-Merida) and Dylan Groenewegen (LottoNL-Jumbo).

"There couldn't have been a better way for calling it a season. I'm happy to take the win on the last stage of this race and finish off the excellent job of my teammates, who made sure I got the maximum out of this race. It's been a long and rewarding season, one during which I've gone from strength to strength, continued to develop and learn, and all these things make me even more motivated for 2018. But before that and resuming training, I'll go home, enjoy some rest and spend time with my family", said Gaviria, the only rider to take four wins in two different World Tour stage races this season, the Giro d'Italia and the Tour of Guangxi.

Not only that he played an important role in Quick-Step Floors' lead-out train in China, but Julian Alaphilippe also rode for the general classification, where he ended up fourth, 15 seconds behind the winner. On top of that, by finishing first in the youth classification, the Frenchman notched up his fourth distinctive jersey of the year, after the ones in Abu Dhabi and Paris-Nice: "The Tour of Guangxi was a nice experience; the team worked hard and we got repaid with this incredible run. It's the end of the season, but I felt good and fourth place is a nice result. I like this race and I hope to return here in the next years."

The Tour of Guangxi was the final stop of the season for Quick-Step Floors, for the sixth year running the most successful team in the world. The outfit managed by Patrick Lefevere scored 59 victories, 56 of which came in UCI races. Of these, 30 were attained in World Tour events, making it an all-time best for our squad, who has won races in 2017 with 14 riders across 15 different countries.

Dylan Groenewegen

Dylan Groenewegen wins the fifth stage

The race: Here's the report from stage winner Dylan Groenewegen's LottoNL-Jumbo team.

Dylan Groenewegen has won the penultimate stage of the Tour of Guangxi. After 212 kilometres, the 24-year-old Dutchman crossed the finish line first. In the bunch sprint he was faster than Fernando Gaviria and Magnus Cort Nielsen. Groenewegen’s victory meant the 26th win for Team LottoNL-Jumbo this season and the tenth at World Tour level.

Sports director Grischa Niermann saw "a super performance" of his team. The plan was not to get in the front of the peloton too soon and save everyone’s energy for the final sprint as long as possible. When Movistar tried to break the peloton in the hills, the team needed to keep Groenewegen in a prominent position. "And they did it well”, said Niermann. "The men dropped off Dylan and finished it very well. We came here for a stage win and succeeded." Despite the beautiful result, the hunger for success has not yet been satisfied. "Tomorrow is the last stage and we’ll go for the victory again", said Niermann.

Groenewegen had praiseful words for his teammates. "This victory is a real team performance. Everyone stayed with me to help me cross the hills. After that, I was perfectly placed for the sprint. Tribute to the team."

Tim Wellens

Tim Wellens wins Tour of Guangxi stage four.

The race: Here's the report from winner Tim Wellens' Lotto-Soudal team:

TDF volume 1

Tim Wellens won the fourth stage of the Tour of Guangxi, which took place between Nanning and Mashan Nongla. It was considered as the first real opportunity for the GC riders to gain time on their rivals. There was a third category climb in the first part of the race, but today’s main feature was the last first category climb, at the top of which the finish was situated.

Campenaerts, Hofstede, Kotchekov and Molina established the breakaway after ten kilometres of racing. The four escapees’ advantage culminated to 7’30’’, but the peloton rode faster and faster as the final climb was approaching. Despite a brave solo attack from future Lotto Soudal rider Victor Campenaerts, the breakaway was reeled in with six kilometres to go. Tim Wellens, Bauke Mollema and Nicolas Roche went clear on the final climb, but the Belgian proved to be the strongest of the three and claimed his sixth victory of the season. Wellens also takes the leader’s jersey and is now four seconds ahead of Mollema in the general classification.

Tim Wellens: "I didn’t feel super good at the start of the stage but the team gave me confidence. My teammates helped me all day and kept me out of the wind. As we approached the finale I felt better and better and I had great legs on the final climb. Roche was the first to make his move, and I came back a bit later with Mollema. Then it was my turn to attack and I managed to go clear. Of course, it gives a very good feeling, everyone wanted to win today and it was not easy. It’s a special experience to race here. I have to say that the organization is super good, with nice hotels and beautiful roads. It is also good to show our team in such fashion in China. Our co-sponsor Soudal is also active here!"

"I had previously said that this stage would be the most important for the overall classification, and today I happened to have a great day. Therefore, I hope that the last two days will be good for me as well. I am now in a very good position to defend the leader’s jersey, but I know it will not be easy, but I can count on a very strong team. I had said that I wanted to perform well here but there are a lot of factors that needed to go right in China, such as jetlag or the food, but it’s all been good so far."

Three riders – Nuno Bico (Movistar), Jack Haig (Orica-Scott) and Daniel Oss (BMC) – formed the day's main breakaway, but the peloton wasn't willing of making any gifts ahead of the race's queen-stage, and as consequence the trio couldn't establish a significant lead.

The escapees were brought back before the last intermediate sprint, where Julian Alaphilippe grabbed three seconds to put him into contention for the general classification, but other moves soon followed from the bunch, with Lawson Craddock (Cannondale-Drapac) and Matej Mohoric (UAE Team Emirates) giving it a go and managing to stay at the front until the final five kilometers of stage three.

Quick-Step Floors took the reins in the bunch at the three kilometers to go mark and began setting a high pace in the pack, before Max Richeze stepped in and showcased for the umpteenth time his extraordinary lead-out skills, bringing Fernando Gaviria to the front and helping the Colombian stamp again his authority on the Tour of Guangxi sprints.

Fernando's fantastic turn of speed couldn't be matched by his opponents – Max Walscheid (Team Sunweb) and Magnus Cort (Orica-Scott) – as the 23-year-old completed his hat-trick of victories in China and increased his cushion in the overall classification, where teammate Julian Alaphilippe sits in tenth place ahead of the race's only uphill finish.

"Can't say I had the best sensations in my legs this morning, but things became better as the stage progressed. Having all the guys around, protecting me in every moment, helped a lot today. Martin and Pieter worked hard and pulled back the break, while Max provided another solid proof lead-out in the final 500 meters. I love this team, it's my second family and I'm really proud to be part of the Wolfpack and live so many great moments with them", said Fernando Gaviria after scoring the team's 55th UCI victory of the 2017 season, our best in term of number of wins since 2014.

Rik van Slycke, who together with Davide Bramati leads the Quick-Step Floors squad from the car at the Tour of Guangxi, shared his take on the first half of the race, as the peloton prepares to head into the mountains for a battle which could be decisive in the final outcome of the general classification: "We are delighted to see that ten months into the season, the guys are still focused and motivated to win, giving it their all every day. Three stages and three victories, that's a great feat, which underlines the fantastic quality of this team. We have the leader's jersey and Fernando is in good form, but tomorrow a stern test awaits and we'll see if he can overcome it. If he doesn't concede too much ground, then he'll be in with a shot at the GC. But we'll find out more on the road tomorrow, when we'll have several cards to play on the uphill finish to Mashan Nongla."

Friday, October 20: Stage 2, Qinzhou - Nanning, 156.7 km

Ferando Gaviria

Fernando Gaviria wins the second stage.

The race: Here's the story from race leader Fernando Gaviria's Quick-Step Floors team.

Paris–Roubaix: The Inside Story

Fernando Gaviria claimed his second win in a row at the maiden edition of the Tour of Guangxi, this time in Nanning, where the 23-year-old outmuscled Max Walscheid (Team Sunweb) and Wouter Wippert (Cannondale-Drapac) on a slightly uphill finish to keep hold of his red jersey, five seconds clear of Silvan Dillier (BMC).

Measuring 156.7 kilometers, the stage which rolled out from Qinzhou – a small town on the Gulf of Tonkin – got off to a furious start, as several riders fought to book a place in the day's escape. A break formed only after the first intermediate sprint, 25 kilometers into the stage, but the attackers weren't allowed too much space, with the sprinters aware they couldn't miss their second opportunity at this final World Tour race of the season.

With five kilometers left, as the men in the lead got reeled in, the blue Quick-Step Floors train emerged and piloted Fernando Gaviria into a perfect position, from which the Giro d'Italia maglia ciclamino kicked off his powerful acceleration, some 200 meters from the line, to notch up his 12th victory of a season in which he really came of age, with wins across three continents and six different countries.

Fernando Gaviria – who leads also the points and youth classifications – was delighted after coming out on top for the second consecutive stage at the Tour of Guangxi: "The guys were great once again, protecting me throughout the day and making the difference in the final, so this win is for them. A big shout out goes to Martin Velits, who is retiring after this race and continued to work hard for me. It was harder than yesterday, with a crazy last kilometer and a longer and tougher sprint this time on an uphill drag, so having won in these conditions makes me very happy. Four more stages are left in the store and the plan is to take everything day by day, looking for other opportunities and helping the team conclude the season on a high."

Thursday, October 19: Stage 1, Beihai - Beihai, 107.4 km

Fernando Gaviria

Fernando Gaviria takes the first stage of the first edition of the Tour of Guangxi

The race: Here's the story from stage winner Fernando Gaviria's Quick-Step team.

Cycling's 50 Triumphs and Tragedies

Up until this point of the season, Fernando Gaviria scored at least one victory in every stage race he rode in 2017 – Vuelta a San Juan, Volta ao Algarve, Tirreno-Adriatico, Giro d'Italia and Tour of Britain – and the Colombian was keen on continuing his streak also at the inaugural Tour of Guangxi, last World Tour stop of the year, which marked his first outing in China.

The opening day of the event featured a four-man breakaway from the start, which included also Quick-Step Floors' Rémi Cavagna, who in Guangxi is closing out his first pro season. The powerful 22-year-old Frenchman did his fair share of pulling in the escape – whose maximum gap stood at 30 seconds – before attacking after the last intermediate sprint and extending his lead to one minute.

On the stage's sole classified climb, which he won, Rémi was joined from the peloton by Jonathan Lastras (Caja Rural) and the duo managed to keep the chasers at bay until the three kilometers to go mark, where they were reabsorbed by the pack. That was the cue for the Quick-Step Floors train to move towards the front of the charging bunch and bring Fernando Gaviria in a good position for the sprint in Beihai.

"The original plan was to put some pressure on the sprinters' teams, so when Dillier attacked I jumped and followed him. Then, as I was feeling very good and strong, I decided to go solo and just see what happens. I increased my gap over the peloton, but the wind and wide roads made it impossible to go all the way to the line. Despite that, I'm happy with my form and with how I felt today", said Rémi Cavagna, the most aggressive rider of the stage and also the first rider to lead the KOM standings at the Chinese race.

Brimming with confidence after a solid final part of the season, which saw him claim victories at the Tour of Britain and the Kampioenschap van Vlaanderen, Gaviria left it late and kicked out with only 100 meters to go, sailing from the right side of the road past Dylan Groenewegen (LottoNL-Jumbo) and Pascal Ackermann (Bora-Hansgrohe) en route to claiming his first ever victory in Asia, and with it, the leader's jersey in the Tour of Guangxi.

"We had only 100 kilometers on the menu today, but it was a very difficult stage, because of the wind and the speed in the bunch. The break wasn't large and luckily we had Rémi there, who proved just how strong he was, getting caught only in the final kilometers", said 23-year-old Fernando, who's also the best young rider of the race, after the stage in Beihai. "My teammates did again a great job and I'm glad I could repay them with this victory. It's always nice to win a race, especially a World Tour one, and I'm happy to have added another win to the team's remarkable haul of successes this season."
