Race course
Immediately after the start of the race, eight drivers pulled away from the field. There were among others Jacopo Mosca (Italy / Wilier Triestina), Fabien Doubey (France / Wanty), Nicolas Edet (France / Cofidis) and Francois Bidard (France / AG2R). The escape group had a lead of no more than eight minutes. All outliers were put off the field 20 kilometers from the finish. Four kilometers later, the Italian Giovanni Visconti (Bahrain-Merida) attacked. Before the final climb he had a lead of 35 seconds.
In his pursuit, one of the co-favorites fell on the win and last year's winner , Esteban Chaves (Columbia / Orica). Chaves hit the asphalt and remained motionless in a meadow about 4 kilometers from the finish. Later examinations revealed that he had broken his right shoulder blade.
In the end, Visconti won at the Santuario della Madonna di San Luca with a good 12 seconds lead over his compatriot and team mate Vincenzo Nibali , who was able to break away from the chasing group. Rigoberto Urán (Colombia / Cannondale Drapac) went third, 15 seconds behind.
