For the Swatt Club riders, the road season is not over yet, and the satisfactions continue. Engaged in Japan for the thirty-fourth edition of the Tour de Okinawa, the team led by patron Carlo Beretta climbed onto the podium thanks to Giacomo Garavaglia.

The 29-year-old Milan cyclist completed the 201 kilometers on the route, crossing the finish line in Nago in second position, narrowly beaten in a sprint only by Atsushi Oka, a thirty-year-old rider with the Astemo Utsunomiya Blitzen team who last year, when he was racing with Team Ukyo, had distinguished himself at the Giro di Romagna and Tour of the Alps.

The Tour de Okinawa podium was completed by Korean Woo-Ho Jung, a twenty-seven-year-old rider registered with the Seoul Cycling Team.
