Michael Albasini (Switzerland) won the Coppa Agostoni after he beat Marco Canola (Nippo-Vini Fantini) and Francesco Gavazzi (Androni-Sidermec) in a reduced bunch sprint in Lissone.
“I thought the finale would be more animated without the sprinters, but it was quite controlled,” Albasini said. “I put myself on the wheel of the Androni team because there were three or four of them. I was sure they’d do a good lead-out and that’s how it played out. I got to the finish quite fresh. It was a bit of a long sprint but it went well.”
