Giro dell'Emilia
Ulissi took his second World Tour-level win during the first stage of the 2013 Tour de Pologne, out-sprinting Darwin Atapuma and Rafal Majka from a breakaway group of 15 riders. He then won three Italian classic races in the fall. In Milano-Torino, Ulissi attacked away from a small group of favorites, including defending champion Alberto Contador, on the final climb to take victory. He won an uphill sprint in Coppa Sabatini a week later. Finally, days after, Ulissi again jumped away from the leading group in the closing meters of the Giro dell'Emilia to take victory.
