Brief

Another of the early season Italian races for elite riders without contracts. The decisive move came from Denis Lunghi riding for Collpack-Polti, who confirmed his good early season form with a win here and a second place behind Ivan Basso (Zalf Euromobil-Fior) in the Menton-Alassio classic the day before.

With 13 kms to go, Lunghi took advantage of a fall in the peloton and finished 2.20 ahead of a chasing group of 7.
