Alejandro Valverde wins the 2014 Roma Maxima
Alejandro Valverde (Movistar) just held off the peloton to win Roma Maxima by a slim margin in Italy on Sunday.
Valverde and Domenico Pozzovivo (Ag2r) had led the bunch in the closing kilometres of the race, but it was touch and go as to whether the duo would survive to the finish. Pozzovivo faded, but Valverde moved to the left of the rough, cobbled finish and just held on for the win.
