Grivko wins Firenze-Pistoia

Andrey Grivko of Team Milram won the Firenze-Pistoia time trial on Saturday, covering the 30 kilometres 10 seconds ahead of Columbia's Marco Pinotti. Dario Cioni of Silence-Lotto was third.

Milram placed three riders in the top ten, with Fabio Sabatini finishing seventh and Brett Lancaster ninth. "That is a great way for our team to end the season," said team manager Gerry van Gerwen. "Our riders have really shown their stuff one more time in the last race in Italy. Now they all have earned a break from riding."

It was Grivko's second win of the season, with the first being the victory in the Ukranian national time trial championship.
