safety

At the end of the race, his hot comment demonstrates the great confidence in his means of the young Friulian: «Winning also in Oltrepo means signing this August full of satisfactions in the best possible way. I won two consecutive international races and today’s one which, in terms of difficulty and opponents, is worth at least as much as the other two. It’s the magic moment in view of my now certain transition to professionalism at the end of the season ». To pay the price in the sprint fine by passisti such as Sergio Meris and Francesco Busatto, clearly beaten on the finish line. Then, behind the athletes of the caliber of the French Bastien Tronchon (Ag2r Citroen), already winner of a stage at the recent Vuelta a Burgos and Davide De Pretto, bronze at the Europeans a few days ago in Portugal. The Oscar for courage goes to Giacomo Villa (Biesse Carrera) from Brianza, a daring actor in a solitary escape that characterized the finale. Villa left behind the skimmed group of Ornai reaching the maximum advantage of 26 ”. Then the dream of his solitary arrival vanished after three kilometers. from the arrival, between San Damiano al Colle and the Braccio crossroads, just where Buratti’s final show began, first able to carry the group with him, then to reach the exhausted Villa and then throw his head down in the final tear, winning clearly a race that crowns a season for him to be framed. Excellent organization of Asd Rovescalese.
