A two-rider sprint opened the first-year junior cycling season in Tuscany, with protagonists at the finish line of the fourth Coppa Torre Guinigi, featuring Lazio rider Giuliano Salimbeni and Tuscan Diego Della Polla. The victory went to the thirteen-year-old from the Pirata Cosmetall Vangi Sama team, who prevailed after an excellent performance by the two young riders in the final of the Lucca race in Monte San Quirico. Just over 60 participants took part in the race that kicked off the cycling day. In the subsequent second-year race, there was a compact finish with a peremptory sprint by the strong sprinter Jastin Mamaliga, of Romanian nationality but racing for the Venetian U.C.S. Ottavio Zuliani team, who won ahead of Marini, one of the most interesting young Tuscan talents to watch, and Cantini, who occupied the podium positions. Present at the two youth races were the vice mayor and sports assessor of the Lucca Municipality, Barsanti, along with his colleague Bartolomei, while Saverio Metti, vice president of the Italian Cycling Federation, was also in attendance.
