It’s my second victory in Italy after the Trofeo Stradella and it’s incredible to win here – said the winner, Alec Segaert, after the finish -. I pushed very hard in the first part and at the split, I was already in the lead by quite some time, and from the team car they confirmed my feeling. I gave everything and I was exhausted after the finish, but what an emotion to know to be the winner
