Moreno Moser (CAN) produced a brilliant ride to win 2013 Strade Bianche. Moser becomes the first Italian rider to win the beautiful race set in the region of Tuscany. Peter Sagan (CAN) looked in good shape and finished second behind his teammate. Rinaldo Nocentini (ALM) continued the brilliant start of 2013 season for his team by clinching the final podium spot.
A break of four Saramotins (IAM), Belkov (KAT), Ermeti (AND) and Schar (BMC) had formed early in the race. The peloton allowed the gap to balloon to over 10 minutes before Cannondale and Radioshack started to drive the chase. Juan Antonio Flecha (VCD) tried to bridge to the leading group when he launched at 40K mark.
The peloton reduced the gap steadily before Moser (CAN) squeezed past the main contenders and then left Flecha in his wake. Moser worked with the four breakaway riders but in the last kilometer proved to be too strong for them.
