Vincenzo Nibali il lombardia 2017

Vincenzo Nibali took advantage of his descending skills to win Il Lombadia for the second time in three years on Saturday.

Like in his 2015 victory in the single-day classic, Nibali established his lead coming off the Civiglio climb.

Nibali attacked just before the summit to catch then-leader Thibaut Pinot, then dropped the Frenchman on the narrow and twisty descent.

Nibali clocked more than six hours over the undulating 247-kilometer (153.5-mile) route from Bergamo to Como.

Julian Alaphilippe finished second, 28 seconds behind, and Gianni Moscon took a bunch sprint for third, 38 seconds back.
