An impressive overdue acceleration in a grinding uphill end has netted France’s Dorion Godon (AG2R-Citröen) this 12 months’s version of the Giro del Veneto.
Already the winner of the Brabantse Pijl this spring, 5 months later Godon outpowered Tobias Halland Johannessen (Uno-X) and Florian Vermeersch (Lotto-Dstny) in a small bunch sprint for the road.
The 170-kilometre Italian Vintage got here all the way down to the overall ascent of the Monte Berico for a entrance workforce of 30 or so riders, with most sensible favorite Marc Hirschi (UAE Staff Emirates) making his transfer overdue on, most effective to be boxed in.
Godon then stormed away within the ultimate metres to say the 8th victory of his occupation and his 2d most sensible win in 2023.
