A great winner for the Cei Cup Hors-Category Proof of the Oscar TuttoBici Juniors, which took place today in Lucca, Tuscany. The decisive move came from Tommaso Cingolani, a 16-year-old from Marche, Senigallia, European and Italian Cyclocross Champion, who crossed the finish line of the youth classic, paired with the Francesco Tomei Cup, ahead of Francesco Dell'Olio from Puglia (Il Pirata Cosmetall Vangi Sama Ricambi) and Riccardo Longo from Lombardy (US Biassono). The race was resolved by a six-rider breakaway with the top three finishers accompanied by Gugnino, Brustia, and Agnini.

THE RACE. The long and intense cycling day on the outskirts of Lucca, with headquarters in Monte San Quirico, concluded with the classic Giuseppe Cei Cup, now in its 74th edition and also valid for the 55th Francesco Tomei Cup. The victory went to the strong and talented Marchigiano Tommaso Cingolani, who unleashed an irresistible burst after an extremely tight and competitive finale. After the group had ridden compactly for several kilometers, a selection occurred in the final kilometers, with a small peloton battling for the prestigious victory in the race organized by G.S. Cei and colleague Giuseppe Tomei, an tireless coordinator of the season-opening race that saw 168 riders at the start. On the finishing straight, with numerous sports enthusiasts present, Cingolani - representing the Petrucci Zero 24 Cycling Team - delivered the winning move, beating Dell'Olio, Longo, and the other riders in the lead group. An illustrious and talented winner, a complete young rider who has already been the Italian Cyclocross Champion, winner of the Junior Time Trial Italian title last June in Grosseto, and European Youth Champion in Slovakia in 2024. A promising talent with a triumphant start to the season in a significant race.
