Vittoria nella gara scorsa. Peccato per le due gare saltate perché in classifica generale siamo comunque quinti e col podio a tiro. Siamo primi nell'individuale con Riguetto, anche se a pari merito con altri, in tal caso non so quali siano i criteri per decidere chi vince: qualcuno me li può spiegare?

Convocazioni per la settima e ultima gara (tra parentesi il punteggio ottenuto mediante il mio valutatore, che è il principale criterio di selezione, l'età e la squadra di appartenenza):
Bresken - Bresken, tipo di corsa: pavè pianura, 190 km.
Michael Cappanari (93,0, 29, galegospolabici)
Samuele Donadoni (91,8, 33, Plopsala)
Renzo Chicchi (91,4, 26, Eufemianoteam)
Giulio Starnari (91,1, 25, Oloteam)
Cristian Riggotto (90,9, 24, TeamSerfin)
Cristian Galletti (89,6, 25, LanihuliCycling)
Claudio Coletti (89,4, 23, ICSluj)
Manuele Tiblias (85,2, 22, ZG)
Ivan Ricci (85,2, 22, ZG)

Gli ultimi due sono stati preferiti a
Roberto Sironi (89, 25, Telderete)
Alberto D'Amore (87.9, 25, DeporGalegoOscense)

perché più giovani.
Cappanari capitano, gli altri gregari.

women's race ;
A breakaway group of 25 put around three minutes of space on the peloton after a wild day in the crosswinds as the race was hitting its pivotal moment. It’s always a good thing to have a teammate in the breakaway and DSM took full advantage. With 12K to go in the race, Jastrab and Georgi went to the front of the group and pushed the pace, causing a split.

The break was down to six riders, but included in that was sprint sensation Lorena Wiebes of SD Worx and classics specialist and defending race champion Elisa Balsamo of Trek-Segafredo.
For the DSM duo, there was still more work to do. They needed to make it a hard finish.

The next move came with just over 7K to go. Jastrab once again went to the front and ramped it up, but Georgi hung back at the end of the line. Jastrab gave a flick of the elbow, but had no takers to assist on the pacemaking. That’s when Georgi pounced.

The 22-year-old British rider counter attacked and that move proved to be winning moment of the race. Balsamo tried to respond, but didn’t have the legs. The remaining riders in the group failed to get organized and Georgi rode off to glory, scoring her first-career WorldTour victory by one minute, 10 seconds over the rest of the bunch. Balsamo beat out Wiebes in a sprint to the line for second.
