Downhill, Bagioli has further extended their lead, but just when it seemed launched towards a second consecutive success, three kilometers from the finish was forced to deal with a puncture that forced him to stop and ask for the intervention of the rear wheel transmission.

LEADERS - Extremely happy with the winner Jeremy Mountauban, physical grenadier and feline look: "Today I knew I was good but I was afraid the rain threatens. When Bagioli stretched climb I could not follow him but then I tried to achieve in the plains . he has laundry and when we passed I realized that I could win. when I saw the arrival I launched the sprint and I are no longer going to send for anyone, "explained Mountauban.
Embittered but aware of the excellent breakthrough test, Andrea Bagioli: "It 'was a perfect race up to three kilometers from the finish. Then, unfortunately, came this hole and I was forced to stop. It burns to lose a race like this but at the same time, I understand I have a very good physical condition and that I will be able to take the revenge already next Sunday. "
With a smile, at the end of the day, the President of Velo Club Loano - Anselmo cycles, Domenico Anselmo: "Despite the weather forecasts were not the best, today the weather has graced us. It 'was a wonderful day of cycling and so numerous public has paid off for all the efforts made in recent months: thank you for the support of the city administration, the sponsors and all the volunteers who have helped us to make sure that everything went well. he won a French athlete , this we are happy and proud, although sorry for Bagioli who came to the brink of historic double. this evening we enjoy a well earned rest, tomorrow we will start working to prepare the 2018 edition of this unique event that this year has given us great emotions.
