"Cesare rode a very strong race. He was part of the early breakaway group. Even if the big teams in the field responded quickly, it was important to be in front because there was a fair chance that the group would make it to the finish today. But so it turned out to be a very fast race in very bad weather. Although Emanuel [Buchmann] crashed and had to abandon the race, we are happy that none of our riders are hurt. So we are well prepared for Sunday", Bora-Argon 18 sports director Enrico Poitschke concluded after the race.
With Il Lombardia, the last cycling monument of the season will take place on Sunday over 245 kilometers. The race is the biggest autumn classic, also named the "classic of the falling leaves".
