Pozzato hoping for World's selection
The winner of Milan-Sanremo 2006 launched his decisive attack around 15 kilometres from the finish. Pozzato managed to keep his lead ahead of the peloton that was been lead by the T-Mobile and CSC riders that finshed 32 seconds behind him.
"I am happy about my race," said Pozzato. "I'm in a good shape, after a good performance in Plouay last Sunday I was really out looking for a win today. After the Tour, I have worked a lot to prepare in the best ways for the final part of season.
"I would like to be chosen for the Italian National Team for Salzburg. I was asked to prove myself and I think today is an excellent example of my condition. I've done my best not only with the victory but also with an impressive race. If the National Team want me I will be ready at 100 percent."
