The Italian drove on alongside Ben Hermans, Simon Pellaud and Valerio Conti, before putting in a stinging attack on the final climb. The Grenadier went clear heading into the final four kilometres, eventually taking an emphatic solo victory.
Pushing on into the final 40km it was Jhonatan Narvaez who enlivened the race with a strong attack. The Ecuadorian went clear and forced the likes of UAE-Emirates and Israel Start-Up Nation into chasing him down.
With Narvaez caught it was Moscon, Tom Pidcock and Michal Golas who began the bell lap in a select lead group, before Moscon took the win in style.
