Bennati wins on home roads in Toscana
Caleb Fairly third in only his second race as a professional
Italy’s Daniele Bennati (Liquigas-Doimo) went some way to making up for not being selected for the world championships by winning the Giro di Toscana close to his home in Arezzo.
Bennati beat Marco Marcato (Vacansoleil) and US stagiaire Caleb Fairly (Garmin-Transitions) in a sprint finish.
The race was held in memory of the late Italian national coach Franco Ballerini. It started in the centre of Florence and then wound through the Chianti countryside before four finishing circuits in the town of Arezzo.
