How it was won

  1. 6 km to go

    Caught on the circuit

    The four-man break is reeled in with six kilometres left as the race hits the twisting finishing circuit. Kittel, in trouble all day over 233 rolling kilometres, is already out the back.

  2. At the line

    Greipel through the wreckage

    Taaramäe loses his grip on a corner 1.5km out and scatters the lead-out trains. Ferrari waits in vain for Modolo, Colbrelli hesitates on the front, and André Greipel surges away inside 300 metres to win by lengths in Benevento.
