Behind the trio, the Italian Gianni Moscon, who had glimpsed success until a puncture 30 kilometers from the finish and then a crash, took fourth place 44 seconds behind his compatriot.
The Belgian Wout van Aert, one of the big favorites, was ranked 7th in a group settled by his compatriot Yves Lampert (5th) ahead of the Frenchman Christophe Laporte (6th).
Colbrelli is the second rider to win the “queen of the classics” in his first participation. Apart from the German Josef Fischer who opened the prize list in 1896, the French Jean Forestier is the only neophyte, in 1955, to have won from his beginnings.
