Another great show today among the u23 where 54 guys raced, not many but certainly a quality parterre. The distance of the trip certainly influenced: many teams could not afford to cross the ocean.
Three Italians competing: Simone Avondetto of Wilier Pirelli, Andreas Vittone of KTM Protek Elettrosystem and Andrea Colombo of Trinx Factory Team.
Martin Vidaurre immediately dictated the pace by taking the lead already in the launch lap: with him the Swiss Schätti and the Brazilian De Oliveira, but they did not last long. After two laps, Vidaurre already had a 45-second lead over the chasing group.
A Wilier - Pirelli jersey, the one worn by the Swiss Janis Baumann, was also in the lead. Vittone was tenth to a minute. Simone Avondetto on a bad day, passed around the twentieth position.
The race continued without jolts with a deserved and clear victory by Martin Vidaurre Kossmann: a great second place for Wilier Pirelli thanks to Janis Baumann, who reached the finish line 36 seconds late. Great 5th place Andreas Emanuele Vittone.
