Weather at the start/finish city of Lissone at 2:10 PM, local time: 27C (79F), sunny, with the wind from the south at 6 km/hr (4 mph). No rain is forecast.

The race: Here's the report from winner Davide Formolo's UAE Team Emirates.

In Lissone, on the finish line on the Coppa Agostoni, Davide Formolo celebrates a solo victory, followed in second position by team mate Marc Hirschi.

The double is the result of a perfect race for UAE Team Emirates, that ruled in the final part of the 195.7 km of the course with start and arrival in Lissone.
At 60 km to go, Formolo took the head of the competition with other 5 riders on the third passage on the Lissolo climb, then the breakaway was reduced to 4 cyclists who were reached by Marc Hirschi in the downhill after the last passage on Lissolo.

The head group headed to the final 30 km counting on two riders from the Emirati team, Victor Lafay (Cofidis), Warren Barguil (Arkéa Samsic) and Chris Harper (Yayco Alula) , followed at 1’ by another UAE Team Emirates’ member, Diego Ulissi.

Everyone’s eyes were on the fastest cyclist, Hirschi, so the Emirati team tried to exploit the situation for a diversion: Formolo attacked at 10 km to go and he could build up an interesting gap that none of his opponents could close until the arrival. The Italian rider gave the seasonal victory number 53 to UAE Team Emirates, that obtained also three other results in the top 10: in addition to Hirschi (2nd) there were also Diego Ulissi (6th) and the 2022 edition winner Sjoerd Bax (9th)

Formolo: “I am very happy, I missed a lot the feeling of the victory. I had the task of selecting the peloton as much as I could on the Lissolo and the selection brought me in the head group with other 4 riders. When Hirschi joined us, I focused my action on keeping a high pace in order to advantage Marc for an eventual sprint. We noticed that the opponents were controlling him, so we decided to try to exploit my freedom: I attacked on the last hill and this was the winning action”.
