125: Corsi takes two in a row.
Corsi was involved in a race-long battle wi🍬th Belson Derbi's Joan Olive, as those involved in the tussle for the wi﷽n gradually dropped out of the running.
In the end it came down to Corsi vs. Olive, although the last lap wﷺas more a question of Corsi holding his nerve than duking it out with his Spanish rival. He was up🍌 to the task, and passed the chequered flag three tenths of a second ahead of Olive.
