Pozzovivo wins Giro del Trentino overall
Domenico Pozzovivo (Colnago-CSF Inox) won the four-day Giro de Trentino overall classification on Friday.
The Italian took the penultimate stage win on Thursday, and then managed to limit his time loss on the final snow-tinged stage to Passo Pordoi to take the biggest win of his career to date.
Colombian Darwin Atapuma (Colombia - Coldeportes) took the final stage victory with compatriot Carlos Betancur (Acqua & Sapone) in second at three seconds and Pozzovivo in third at six seconds.
Damiano Cunego (Lampre-ISD) came fifth on the last stage and finished second overall in the UCI 2.HC-level race. He now travels to Belgium to contest Liege-Bastogne-Liege on Sunday in good shape.

Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, an exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
