Development

Canazza and Brambilla escaped in the first kilometres, but were caught and overcome by Piemontesi and Casini. They could not stay with the rhythm of Piemontesi and lost his wheel. Behind, a group of persecution was created, formed by Barral, Rimoldi and Sella who caught Piemontesi before the ascent to Brinzio. The test is decided in this climb, as Rimoldi and Sella are off the hook while Barral and Piemontesi gamble in the final sprint in the arena of Milan, where Piemontesi won.^[4]
