Nizzolo outgunned Fernando Gaviria (Etixx-Quick Step) in second, and Daniel Bennati (Tinkoff), third, to win the 100th edition of the Italian classic. After a fast-paced 207-kilometers, less than 40 riders arrived at the finish. In a burst of speed in the gradual uphill finish, Nizzolo accelerated over the line by almost a bike length and proved he is on form for the upcoming World Championships in Doha.

“This win gives me a lot of motivation for the World Championships,” exclaimed Nizzolo. “During the race, my legs felt good, especially on the climbs. But honestly, I did not feel so good this morning – almost like I was beginning to be sick. But I started to feel better in the race, and to win today shows me that I am on track and ready for the Worlds. This gives me a lot of confidence.”
