158 starters divided into 28 teams added color to the circuit made famous by Aldo Drudi's artistic touch. In Misano Adriatico, within the Open Games event, where the structure opens up to its city, the 4th edition of the U23 race officially launching the road calendar of the Emilia-Romagna region took place.

At the beginning of the year, all athletes' dreams were present at the 4th GP Misano 100, a national Elite Under 23 race organized by Eurobike Riccione: even a French team, Buffaz Gestion de patrimoine-Lyon Sprint Evolution, was at the start.

The race found better atmospheric conditions than the last 2 editions, and perhaps the favorable weather encouraged young cyclists to animate the day with courage. The first to attack was Luca Amadio from Corianese, of the Marche-based VPM Moretti SCS team.

The protagonists of the race were a rediscovered quartet that led the race from the middle of the second lap until one and a half laps from the finish: the Frenchman Leon Picard, Francesco Vecchiutti from Campana Imballaggi Geo&Tex Trentino, followed by Christian Di Prima from Asd Velo Club Avezzano and Marco Martini from the home team Technipes #inEmiliaRomagna.

However, it wasn't the right "track", and after 22 laps of 25 in pursuit, the "peloton" decided to close the breakaway of the four and the race. A group sprint regulated the finale, with Lorenzo Ursella from Sc Padovani Polo Cherry Bank on the podium, followed by Lorenzo Cataldo from Gragnano Sporting Club and Alessio Menghini from General Store Essegibi F.lli Curia.

Present at the Misano World Circuit, besides the audience in the "motors" grandstands, were Pierluigi De Vitis, President of Federciclismo Emilia-Romagna, and CT Marino Amadori, who was "trackside" the entire time to better study the 2025 youth development.

Now, make way, or rather "track", to races and young talents!
