Brazil, Malta, Taiwan and Belarus come together for a flat national championship. Hsu the best sprinter here.
King Power and Zara control the break and set a high pace, so no attacks and everyone is together with 4k to go. Hsu 3rd wheel, Santos right behind him.
Under the 1k banner Hsu launches the sprint, Santos and Godoy behind him, then Peng and Borg. Both Belarussians further back.
Hsu wins the race and the Taiwanese title, Santos will be 2nd and take the Brazilian Championship.
