After a few days of bad weather this morning the sun and the fresh snowfall made the challenge on the nervous and technical Swiss route even more beautiful and ardent; divided into six climbs, two stretches on foot and 1604 meters of positive gradient. Already from the first ascents it is the blue Antonioli to impose a frenetic pace that only his companion Michele Boscacci manages to follow, while the Frencese Gachet tries to defend the third position. Ranking thus defended until the finish line, cut by an indomitable Robert Antonioli with a time of 1h35'15 â€™â€™, to follow his friend Michele Boscacci with a 35 â€™â€™ delay and to close the podium the French Xavier Gachet. Also in Italy, also the wooden medal, but of the finest, won by Nadir Maguet and sixth place, but which is worth the espoir gold, for the young Davide Magnini. In the women's category, as expected, the very strong French athlete Axelle Mollaret is in first place, leading the whole race in the head and then triumphing unrivaled in 1h33 â€™. Second place went to the tenacious Alba De Silvestro, spearhead of the Italian national team, which instead fought until the end with the French Lorna Bonnel, third. The strong biker Claudia Galicia Cotrina closes in fourth place and in the fifth place the Swedish Astrom. Thus ends the queen race of this world championship that will continue tomorrow with the Vertical race. Standings Senior Men1. Robert Antonioli (ITA) 2. Michele Boscacci (ITA) 3.
