Giacomo Nizzolo was the quickest of a number one group of seven who had attacked within the closing section after a tricky race on the Breton grime roads to win Tro-Bro Leon.
It was a day of attrition, with the traditional farm lanes of Brittany throwing in some chaos, however regardless of struggling a mechanical with eight sectors to go, Giacomo Nizoolo was nicely positioned for the finale and outsprinted Arnaud de Lie and Nils Eekhoff to take the win.
“Today was a very, very special race”, stated Nizzolo. “I had to ride all day on the front, but the team worked to keep me in a good position until the race exploded with around seventy kilometers to go, and then there were only thirty of us”.
“I was unlucky to get a puncture with thirty kilometers to go, so I had to make a big effort to get back, and then I was dropped in a decisive sector, but managed to come back again. I really had to suffer today to get the victory, but I’m super happy because when it comes after such an effort it feels even better”.
