The Italian Sonny Colbrelli (Bahrain Victorious) took advantage of the great moment of form that he is going through and after winning the European Championship on the road six days ago was imposed this Saturday at the 18th Marco Pantani Memorial, disputed between Castrocaro Terme and Cesenatico after 196 kilometers.
Colbrelli gave another warning on the eve of the World Cup. He was the fastest of a score of riders and imposed his terminal speed ahead of his compatriot Vincenzo Albanese (EOLO-Kometa) and the Spanish Alex Aranburu (Astana), who closed the podium.
Italian Matteo Trentin (UAE Team Emirates) and Spanish Gotzon Martin (Euskaltel Euskadi) finished fourth and fifth, respectively.
