There are some big puncheurs here, but the favourites should be Formolo, Di Maggio and Moscon.
We have 6 amateur riders in the breakaway just to liven up this race.
Jura take control and bring the race back together on the penultimate climb.
Here we go the final kilometer and the final hill to the finish line. Masnada and Barbin are leading the way.
Barbin still looks good with 300 m to go. Moscon looks a bit boxed in behind him. Guardini is surprisingly doing well, can the sprinter upset the puncheurs?!
Nope, Barbin takes it all the way and wins the Italian NC! Gabburo finishes strongly for 2nd place and Moscon is 3rd.

Italian National Championships - Time Trial
Race Profile
The favourites for the time-trial are Cattaneo, Viviani and Dal Col, but there are few other very good riders as well.
Masnada sets the best early time.
1h06'15''
Conci easily beats his time by more than a minute.
1h04'59''
Senni improves on the best time by 30''.
1h04'29''
Ganna might have wanted better, but he does take the lead for now.
1h04'25''
Balloni is on fire! 43'' faster than Ganna, great time!
1h03'41''
Sterbini comes in and he's only 1'' slower than Balloni.
1h03'42''
Dal Col next and he's a fraction slower than Sterbini. Super tight at the top right now.
1h03'42''
Not anymore! Cattaneo shows why he was one of the favourites, he blows everyone out of the water!
1h02'43''
Only Viviani is left to change the outcome. He has a mare, terrible time over 2 minutes slower!
1h04'48''
So Mattia Cattaneo wins the Italian TT NC ahead of Balloni and Sterbini.
