Italy’s Sacha Modolo took another vic­tory for the Colnago-CSF Inox team at the Giro di Padania, win­ning the sprint fin­ish to San Vendemiano, close to his home in Veneto region on his Colnago C59 Team Edition bike.

Modolo’s soon to be wife and fam­ily were at the fin­ish to cel­e­brate his fifth win of the sea­son and the sec­ond con­sec­u­tive vic­tory for the Colnago-CSF Inox team after they won the stage two team time trial.

Sonny Colbrelli also kept the race leader’s blue jer­sey, mak­ing it a per­fect day for Colnago.

“It’s a great win and I’ve got to thank my team­mates for help­ing do it,” Modolo said.

“We worked hard on the flat roads to the fin­ish and we man­aged to catch the five rid­ers who had bro­ken away, even if they had a lead of two min­utes with just 30km to go. In the sprint Colbrelli, Pagani, Coledan, Canola and Brambilla gave me a per­fect lead out and I couldn’t let them down. It’ great to win so close to home. People were call­ing my name and so I couldn’t let them down. I had to win.”
