Deho & Kelmencic win again in Iseo

Two past winner, Marzio Deho (2005) and Blaza Klemencic (2007), again won the Gimondibike this past weekend.

At 10:00 am, the grids opened and a colored flood of cyclists poured into the streets of Iseo under sunny skies to begin the 38.6km track.

The men's race was characterized by continuous attacks and counterattacks, with the winner undetermined until the final kilometer. At 20km Marzio Deho was in the lead group along with Mike Felderer, Johnny Cattaneo, Martino Fruet and Oscar Lazzaroni.

Near the Passirano's Castle at 21km, Lazzaroni and Felderer were left behind, and at the Gran Premio Monte Rossa, Fruet was first, followed by Deho, while at the Prova Speciale di Monterotondo, Pallhuber and Bettelli had a little lead.

At the Cronoscalata della Madonna del Corno, Alezey Medvedev, Ramon Bianchi and Deho, were at the front, and the trio would battle through the final kilometer during which the Olympian Deho (Dilettantistica) assumed the lead on a descent to win with a time of 1:26:24. Second place went to Bianchi (Scott Racing Team) in 1:26:31 while Russian Medvedev (Torrevilla) took third in 1:26:47.

"It was a very hard race, with continuous changes in the leading group," said a happy Deho. "Luckily during the descent from Madonna del Corno I succeeded in gaining few seconds, a precious lead for my victory. At the end of this season, I needed this excellent race."

Even though Bianchi couldn't repeat his 2004 win, he had no regrets. "I had some problems at the beginning because of a too fast start. I tried to catch Marzio, but today he was really unbeatable." Medvedev was of a similar mindset.

In the women's race, Slovenian Blaza Klemencic (Full Dinamix) took control from the start. She imposed her rhythm from the beginning, too fast for all of her opponents. She won in1:42:08, two minutes faster than last year when she won her first GimondiBike.

"It is the third time I have run this race, an interesting test before my next competitions. I hope to win again next year!"

Second place went to Michela Benzoni (Bicimania Lissone) in 1:44:14, who improved her performance from 2007. "I started poorly and suffered following Klemencic's rhythm. The GimondiBike is always very good, especially today because the track was dry."

Elena Gaddoni (Promo-Bike) finished her race in 1:45:23. "I am happy for this third place, during a very intense season. It was a regular race, on a exciting track, even if not completely suited to my talents."
