UCI-2.6 sanctioned race, organized by GSC Viris Vigevano and boasting a
top-quality international field, that was held in the second half of May
2003 in the Lomellina area of Lombardy.
The race ended in a bunch sprint, won by Pagnoncelli's Paride Grillo, a
21-year-old fastman whose name you'll likely hear many a time in years to
come. Race report and results are available
here.
