Davide Piganzoli of Visma–Lease a Bike won the one-day Tour of Emilia from Ferrara to Bologna. He benefited from the team’s strong presence in the leading group, which also included Ben Tulett in fourth and Matteo Jorgenson in fifth. Brandon McNulty, wearing the rainbow jersey for the first time after his world title in Montreal a week earlier, finished tenth. The American remained among the contenders until the final 20 kilometers and attacked several times before being dropped after Piganzoli’s acceleration. The decisive attacks came during the fourth passage of the San Luca climb, which was tackled five times in the closing phase.
