NTT rider Giacomo Nizzolo Sunday won the Italian road race title on Sunday for a second time as he outsprinted the other survivors of a 13-man breakaway. Four years after his first victory, the 31-year-old edged Deceuninck-Quick Step's Davide Ballerini and Bahrain-McLaren's Sonny Colbrelli in the charge to the line at the end of a 253-kilometre race over 12 laps from Grapa to Cittadella. Nizzolo has had injury problems since his first national title in 2016. "After three very difficult years I managed to win back this jersey and I hope to enjoy it more than the first time," he said. alu/ole/pb/iwd
