At times it has been painful to watch as Fillipo Pozzato struggled to regain anything like the form that made him the darling of many cycling fans. For a rider to cross the line alone to win after a drought, is something close to being reborn. As many riders do when they are heading to pastures new as Pozzato is in 2012, the pressure goes and leaves their mind clear to just concentrate on what they do best, racing their bike. With some great work by team mate Luca Paolini, Pozzato took Sundays GP Beghelli to announce his return to form.
