On the heels of a solid Tour Down Under campaign, Diego Ulissi (UAE Abu Dhabi) made his Italian racing debut in style Sunday, winning the G.P. Costa degli Etruschi in Donoratico, near where he grew up.
The 27-year-old attacked on the Torre Segalari climb less than 15km from the finish and held out to the line in slippery conditions, finishing comfortably 14 seconds ahead of the pack.
"My attack on the climb was very good and I succeeded in strengthening my advantage in the descent, which I know very well," Ulissi said.

Wilier Triestina's Manuel Belletti won the sprint for second, with Francesco Gavazzi (Androni Giocattoli) taking third.
