It was double Italian victory in the Giro di Sardegna on Sunday, with Filippo Zana (Soudal-QuickStep) sealing the GC title after his Queen stage triumph, whilst Davide Donati (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe Rookies) conquered the final sprint.
Donati came out on top in a tight photo finish in Olbia, beating Davide Persico (MBH Bank CSB Telecom Fort) into second, whilst Tilen Finkšt (Solution Tech Nippo Rali) took third.
Rather than keep him close, the peloton let Perani build a gap that was over six minutes at one point, and five and a half minutes with 50km to go – the Italian started the day some 29 minutes down, so was never a GC threat.
