the Inner Ring ‏@inrng
Italian broadcaster RAI are covering today's race today so there should be live video later

Last year's top 3:
1 Daniel Moreno Katusha
2 Greg Van Avermaet BMC
3 Luca Paolini Katusha

Doesn't look like it's live after all, which now makes this thread slightly silly.

I can't believe they're going through my home town... I've done that climb to Favaro and then up to Oropa probably a hundred times

Turfle

5k to go.

Uran and Verdugo, being chased by Paolini, Betancur, Henao, Santambrogio

Colombians everywhere.

Uran wins.

I think that's his first win of the year. No, it's not. He won that stage in Catalunya.

Happy for Rigo Uran Uran

Good win! He also won a stage of the Volta a Catalunya earlier this year too I think

Thanks! Just had a quick look over at cqranking, and he and Henao have had an amazing number of 2nds, 3rds and 4ths. Great to see him finally get a good one day victory.

You must have been editing your post as I replied...! You're right about the 2/3/4 that he and Henao seem to have racked up. Henao definitely deserved at least one win this year. Hopefully next season he'll get his rewards - top rider

Uran and Henao next year...big year, I reckon. After 4 years - 4! - of lots of podiums but no wins, this has been a breakthrough year for Uran. As for Henao...so many times he's knocked on the door this year, but he'll start racking up some wins next year for sure.

Hey Turfle, when did they attack? First or seconds climb?

Turfle

Updates were few and far between, but it read like the final break went away on the final climb. There were attacks by Amador + Quintana among others on the previous climb.

Good race. Some fearless descending into Biella.

Turfle

Thanks for that link.

Uran looked really really strong.

Richmond Racer

Ta for the link, BS. Enjoyed watching. Uran, hair flowing in the wind, rode strong and smart.
