Paolo Rosola of Italy vaulted into the lead when a brief fight broke out between two other riders and cruised to a convincing victory in the men’s 107-mile, Aspen-to-Copper Mountain leg in the Coors International bicycle race at Copper Mountain, Colo.

Ron Kiefel of the powerful 7-Eleven team finished second and moved up to fourth place overall, giving 7-Eleven the first four spots in the general standings.

Rosola, 30, of the Bianchi-Italy team, won his second race of the race. Running in a lead pack of six riders, Rosola went in front with about 25 miles to go when Jaanus Kuum of Norway and Team Gore-Tex and Roberto Pagnin of Italy and the Bianchi team exchanged blows.

In the women’s race earlier Monday, Leslee Schenk broke into the lead 18 miles from the finish and held on to win the 58-mile Copper Mountain Road Race.
