Weather at the start/finish city of Pescara at 2:45 PM, local time: 26C (78C), fair, with the wind from the north-northeast at 16 km/hr (10 mph). No rain is forecast.
The race: Here's the post from winner Sakarias Koller Loland's Uno-X Mobility team.
After 195 hard kilometres, Markus Hoelgaard delivered a phenomenal lead-out into the final sprint, putting Sakarias Koller Løland in the perfect position to finish the job.
And he did exactly that. A powerful sprint to victory in the 78th edition of Trofeo Matteotti.
It is Sakarias’ second professional victory, with both of them coming in Italian autumn classics, and another big result in what has already been a remarkable season for the team.
Our 17th win of the season. A great team performance, a massive lead-out from Markus, and a brilliant finish from Sakarias.
And here's the race report from second-place Ludovico Crescioli's Team Polti-VisitMalta:
Team Polti VisitMalta came within inches of victory in a race steeped in tradition! In the finale of a Trofeo Matteotti full of breakaways and shuffled cards, Ludovico Crescioli followed an attack by two French rivals in Montesilvano. When the trio was caught with 2500 meters to go, the Tuscan talent didn’t give up, was well led out by Diego Sevilla and very nearly pulled off the coup in the sprint: 2nd place behind Loland (Uno X) for Crescioli, a rider with a bright future ahead of him, who was also awarded best Italian rider of the race by the Lega Ciclismo Professionistico.
Sports director Giovanni Ellena: “I’m happy with the result, for the rider and above all for the team’s constant presence at the front. The most satisfying thing about this Italian classics campaign so far is seeing how well we’ve come through the first part of the season and the summer months”.
