Androni Giocattoli – Venezuela’s Emanuele Sella on Bianchi Oltre took an amazing win at the 66th Coppa Ugo Agostoni in Lombardy, Northern Italy, at the end of a 106 km escape. The strong Italian climber, 31 years old, outsprinted fellow escapee Fortunato Baliani (Team Nippo) to the finishing line in Lissone to take his first success of the season. Danilo Di Luca (Acqua & Sapone) won the chasing group’s sprint for third.
Sella was delighted with his first joy in 2012, delivering a further great result for Bianchi Oltre. Sella’s team mate Riccardo Chiarini finished fifth, 2.50 behind today’s winner.
