Team CSC's Carlos Sastre tested his legs before Sunday's Giro di Lombardia in today's Giro del Piemonte. The 176 kilometre long Giro del Piemonte was decided by a group sprint, but up to that point, Sastre had put his mark on the race when the peloton split half way through the race. Murilo Fischer won the race in a bunch sprint.
"A group of seven riders got away on the hardest climb of the race, and Carlos was really flying," said CSC's team director Kim Andersen on team-csc.com. "They didn't manage to keep the peloton behind, but it was a good test before the Tour of Lombardy, where I believe we have a good chance of ending the season with a good result."
