San Francesco al Campo - Cirié, 185 kilometers
Jan Bakelants wins the 2015 Giro del Piemonte
The race: It was wet and cold today in Sunny Italy. Like many Italian races since the start of the recession a decade ago, the Giro del Piemonte has suffered from financial problems and wasn't even run in 2007, 2013 and 2014. But this great race, with its history dating back to 1906, is back on the calender.
Today a strong group of about twelve riders formed an early break. Though they never got a big lead, they were stubborn about staying away. The last of them wasn't snaffled up by the pack until the race had less than ten kilometers to go.
That made things look like a probable sprint finish until Ag2r rider Jan Bakelants took off.
Bakelants timed things perfectly. He had the strength and will to hold off the pack to finish alone for a brilliant victory. Well done!
