Good morning friends of OA SPORT and welcome to our LIVE LIVE of the Giro dell’Emilia. The historic Italian semi-classic, also in this 2020 which tore it from autumn to place it in the middle of summer, provides its classic route with San Luca to be climbed five times. The finish line, as always, is set right at the top of the iconic steeple of this race.
The favorite, after the triumph in the Giro di Lombardia, is the Danish Jakob Fuglsang. The Astana standard bearer will be able to count on the support of the Russian champion Alexander Vlasov, already invaluable in the classic of the Dead Leaves, and he knows this race well, in which he almost won in 2009. Several Azzurri will try to contend for the triumph: from Trek couple consisting of Vincenzo Nibali and Giulio Ciccone to Diego Ulissi, who won in 2013, passing through Giovanni Visconti, king in 2017, and Gianni Moscon.
The appointment with the start of our LIVE LIVE is at 12.00. Don’t miss it!
