Remove ads

The 2015 Gran Piemonte was the 99th edition of the Gran Piemonte (known as Giro del Piemonte until 2009) one-day cycling race. The race returned in 2015 after three years, because the 2013 and 2014 editions were not raced due to economical and organizational problems. It was held on 2 October, one day after the Milano–Torino and two days before Il Lombardia (the last "monument classic" of the season), as part of the Trittico di Autunno. It covered a distance of 185 kilometres (115 mi), starting in San Francesco al Campo and ending in Cirié. Riders with the characteristics of sprinter or puncheur were the favourites for the victory.[1] The race was won by Jan Bakelants (AG2R La Mondiale), who attacked in the final 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) and held off the bunch to take a solo victory. Matteo Trentin (Etixx–Quick-Step) won the bunch sprint for second place ahead of Sonny Colbrelli (Bardiani–CSF).[2]
