After a strong squad performance at the Vuelta Burgos, which included a win for Fernando Gaviria, UAE Team Emirates has continued its successful season restart with Italian national champion, David Formolo, taking a well-earned podium spot at Strade Bianche — the first World Tour event to be hosted since racing was postponed in March. Belgian Wout Van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) took the victory after a solo attack with 12km to go. Formolo chased hard along the white gravel roads of Tuscany to secure second place, along with Max Schachmann (Bora - Hansgrohe) who trailed behind and rounded out the top three. Davide Formolo: "It has been a beautiful race. I really suffered with the heat, and also because we have trained for a month in altitude. "It's always great to race at Strade Bianche, there a little bit of regret for having missed a beautiful victory, but the second place is a good result anyway and tops-off a good week for the team. "Now I'll look towards Milan-San Remo which is a different style of parcours but we'll give it our best." Results: 1. Wout Van Aert (Jumbo-Visma) 4:58:56; 2.Davide Formolo (UAE Team Emirates) +30"; 3. Max Schachmann (Bora - Hansgrohe) +32".
