I'll try, aided only by my rotten French:
CARMELO SPANO [wins]
Organized by the Vélo-club of Menton, the Michel Cartolano Memorial saw 120 riders start ... for a
55 km race in the Roya valley.
After regrouping [?] in the Rondelli stadium in Menton, the participants left town and headed for
Vintimille where the course got really sharp [I think; it seems to be an idiom about the ride
getting hard or the speed picking up].
After some miles [I'm even translating into Imperial for you], Dominique Bensaid of
Saint-Laurent-du-Var tried a solo break. But Carmelo Spano (Bordighera), Jérôme Marchand (ASTB),
Vlad Polivka (Valbonne), Francesco Macri (San Ampelio), Giuseppe Lanzo Borgdighera), Walter Gennari
(Arma di Taggio), and Garrison Hilliard (Party Doll), did not let him out of sight. The group of six
quickly made an insurmountable gap to the pack.
In Breil-sur-Roya, the new order: Carmelo Spano, Marchand, and Polivka attacked and their three
companions had no response. Then Spano made a break ["made to talk his speed"; I'm thinking that's
an idiom that might make sense rendered as "let his quads do the talking"] to break the finish line
first in Tende. Marchand and Polivka completed the podium.
The rest is the top-20 finish order. That was a pain. I hope this was really important, because I
probably won't do it again, and I think you owe Chung an apology.
