2013 Roma Maxima 2013 UCI Europe Tour March 3 1 180 km 4h 26' 17" Blel Kadri FRA ALM 2013 Filippo Pozzato ITA LAM 2013 Grega Bole SLO VCD 2013 2008 2014 The 2013 Roma Maxima was the 75th edition of the Italian semi-classic cycle race previously known as Giro del Lazio. The Giro del Lazio had not been held since 2008, and the 2013 edition was the first one with the new name. The race was scheduled on 3 March 2013; it started on Via Appia Antica in Rome, passed through the cobblestone section of the ancient Appian Way and the steep climbs of the Roman hills, and ended again in Rome in Via dei Fori Imperiali, near the Coliseum, after 180 km.http://www.gazzetta.it/RomaMaxima/en/18-02-2013/the-new-roma-maxima-has-been-officially-presented-rome-9257957610.shtml The new Roma Maxima has been officially presented in Rome La Gazzetta dello Sport RCS MediaGroup 18 February 2013 1 March 2013 The French Blel Kadri won the race after a 127 km 1 on breakaway. Kadri, together with André Cardoso, Christophe Prémont, Pim Ligthart and Albert Timmer, got away after 53 km 1 on; on the climb to Campi di Annibale he dropped the other riders and powered on alone with 40 km 1 on to go. A five-rider group, among whom there was also Vincenzo Nibali, tried to chase Kadri down, but Kadri managed to hold the gap all the way to Rome. LAM 2013's Filippo Pozzato won the sprint for the second place, and Grega Bole (VCD 2013) was third. Since Roma Maxima is not a World Tour event, riders were not allowed to use the radio during the race; so both Pozzato and Bole did not know that Kadri was still away, and Pozzato celebrated on the finish line thinking he had won the race.Marco Pastonesi http://www.gazzetta.it/RomaMaxima/en/03-03-2013/roma-maxima-goes-to-the-frenchman-kadri-who-managed-to-join-the-winning-breakaway-92291102178.shtml Roma Maxima goes to the Frenchman Kadri who managed to join the winning breakaway La Gazzetta dello Sport RCS MediaGroup 3 March 2013 5 March 2013Stephen Farrand http://www.cyclingnews.com/races/giro-del-lazio-2013/results Blel Kadri wins Roma Maxima Cycling News 3 March 2013 5 March 2013 Teams The start list included 16 teams – 9 ProTeams and 7 Professional Continental Teams – and a total of 128 riders.http://www.cyclingnews.com/features/roma-maxima-start-list Roma Maxima 2013: Startlist Cycling News 26 February 2013 1 March 2013 https://web.archive.org/web/20130301003611/http://www.cyclingnews.com/features/roma-maxima-start-list 1 March 2013 dead dmy-all Among them, the pre-race favourites were MOV 2013 pairing Alejandro Valverde and Giovanni Visconti, LAM 2013's Damiano Cunego and Filippo Pozzato, ALM 2013 rider Carlos Betancur and Oscar Gatto of FAR 2013.http://www.gazzetta.it/RomaMaxima/en/26-02-2013/roma-maxima-the-international-challenge-at-the-coliseum-92189642962.shtml Roma Maxima: the international challenge at the Coliseum La Gazzetta dello Sport RCS MediaGroup 26 February 2013 1 March 2013 22em ALM 2013 AND 2013 AST 2013 COG 2013 BMC 2013 CJR 2013b CAN 2013 COL 2013 LAN 2013 IAM 2013 KAT 2013 LAM 2013 MOV 2013 ARG 2013 VCD 2013 FAR 2013 Results CyclistTeamTime 1 Blel Kadri FRA ALM 2013 4h 26' 17" 2 Filippo Pozzato ITA LAM 2013 + 37" 3 Grega Bole SLO VCD 2013 + 37" 4 Enrico Barbin ITA COG 2013 + 37" 5 Simone Ponzi ITA AST 2013 + 37" 6 Leonardo Duque COL COL 2013 + 37" 7 Giovanni Visconti ITA MOV 2013 + 37" 8 Simon Geschke GER ARG 2013 + 37" 9 Sergey Lagutin UZB VCD 2013 + 37" 10 Sergey Chernetskiy RUS KAT 2013 + 37" References Roma Maxima Category:2013 in Italian sport Category:Roma Maxima Roma Maxima
