A thrilling finale to the 106th Coppa Bernocchi saw French national champion Dorian Godon (Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale) take victory on Monday, narrowly outsprinting Tobias Lund Andresen (Picnic PostNL) to the line in Legnano.
Remnants of a breakaway that formed in the final 65km stayed out in front until the final 2km, but were ultimately caught by the charging bunch; however, the attacks were not over, with Alessandro Covi (UAE Team Emirates-XRG) and Quinn Simmons (Lidl-Trek) launching a late move.
