McConvey’s overall finishing position in the race was 18th, six minutes and 49 seconds off the pace set by Ivan Alvarez Gutierrez (Giant Italia Team). Julien Absalon (Orbea) was 36 seconds slower in second place, while McConvey’s team-mate Miguel Martinez (Felt International MTB Team) netted third.
McConvey’s previous Elite/Under 23 finishing positions in the Maremma Cup events were eleventh and seventeenth, plus those classification wins. He is showing strong promise for the future and clearly settling in with the Felt International MTB team.
