Sean Quinn has won the second stage of the
Settimana Internazionale Coppi e Bartali. He launched an attack in the final kilometre and beat
Mauro Schmid to secure the win.
Walter Calzoni completed the podium.
Florian Lipowitz,
James FouchĂ©, Emanuele Ansaloni, Veljko StojniÄ, and Marco Murgano broke away from the peloton. They worked together and increased their lead to more than 5 and a half minutes.
The first rider to drop out of the breakaway was Murgano. Lipowitz and Stojnic then separated themselves from the other two and built a 1-minute and 24-second advantage with 40 kilometres left. Eventually, the peloton caught up with the breakaway group 12 kilometres before the finish line.
Gianluca Brambilla attacked with 3 km to go and created a lead of 10 seconds. Sean Quinn counterattacked and crossed the finish line first to secure victory for himself. Mauro Schmid finished second, and Walter Calzoni completed the podium.
