Solo success for the Visma-Lease a Bike rider at the finish line in San Luca
AI-generated summary
The Giro dell'Emilia is a cycling classic that ends with the climb to the sanctuary of San Luca.
Davide Piganzoli confirms his excellent form and finds the important success of his career, winning the Giro dell'Emilia. The Lombard rider from Visma-Lease a Bike breaks away from the leading group on the descent four and a half kilometers from the finish line and resists the return of the other big names on the last climb towards San Luca, ahead of Tom Pidcock and Oscar Onley at the finish line. Fifth goes to the other Visma Matteo Jorgenson, who in the last kilometers works as a 'stopper' for his teammate just as he did with his American compatriot Brandon McNulty (tenth on his debut in the rainbow jersey) at the World Championships in Montreal. Piganzoli is the first Italian to win the race since 2018, when Alessandro De Marchi won.
