San Giuliano Milanese - Torino (Superga), 186 km

Diego Rosa wins the 2015 Milano-Torino

The Race: Milano-Torino generally comes down to the closing kilometers with its two ascents of the Superga climb, the second one of which ends the race at the top of the hill. This year was no exception.

On the second time up, the serious attacks started. For a while, a break with Davide Villella, Diego Rosa, Alexis Vuillermoz and Daniel Moreno looked to go the distance, but they were absorbed.

Even after that effort, Diego Rosa was far from done and still had a lot of gas in the tank. With a couple of kilometers to go, Bam! He blasted up the hill.

And that was the race. Rosa crossed the line with sixteen seconds in hand for a superb race win.

Astana has to be loving Italian racing right now. Rosa's teammate Vincenzo Nibali won Tre Valli Varesine the day before.

Next up in Italian racing: on Friday, it will be the Giro del Piemonte.
