TURIN, Italy (AP) -- Switzerland's Marcus Zberg, silver medallist in the elite road race in the World Cycling Championships, outsprinted Paolo Bettini and world time trial champion Jan Ullrich on Wednesday to win the Milan-to-Turin cycling classic. Zberg completed the 202-kilometer (125.2 miles) distance in four hours, 24 minutes, 55 seconds. Spain's Oscar Freire Gomez, the world road champion who beat Zberg in Verona last Sunday, finished 1:38 minutes behind the winner, in 38th place. Other top finishers included Sweden's Niklas Axelsson, fourth, and American Chann McRae, sixth, both in the same time as the winner.
