Gran Premio della Costa Etruschi 2017– San Vincenzo – Donoratico – 193 km

The Gran Premio della Costa Etruschi is a one-day professional cycling race between the towns of San Vincenzo and Donoratico on the Tuscany coast in Italy. The 193 kilometre long race takes place at the beginning of February and has now taken over from the Trofeo Laigueglia as the opening event of the Italian professional cycling season. It is ranked 1.1 on the UCI Europe Tour. The race has been dominated by Italians since its inception in 1996, with riders from that nation winning on 17 occasions, with an all Italian 1-2-3 happening 14 times out of the 21 editions of the race.

On the heels of a solid Tour Down Under campaign, Diego Ulissi (UAE Abu Dhabi) made his Italian racing debut in style Sunday, winning the G.P. Costa degli Etruschi in Donoratico, near where he grew up.

The 27-year-old attacked on the Torre Segalari climb less than 15km from the finish and held out to the line in slippery conditions, finishing comfortably 14 seconds ahead of the pack.

“My attack on the climb was very good and I succeeded in strengthening my advantage in the descent, which I know very well,” Ulissi said.

“It’s good to win so early in the season, especially after having been competitive in the debut in Australia.”

Wilier Triestina’s Manuel Belletti won the sprint for second, with Francesco Gavazzi (Androni Giocattoli) taking third.
