A spectacular Sunday provided the backdrop for the second edition of the Favara City Gran Fondo Memorial Giacchino Patti. The event, valid for the Sicily Cup, saw 220 registered participants: the organization paid extreme attention to safety, thanks to the collaboration of Municipal Police, Carabinieri, and volunteers positioned at every intersection of the route. Efficient logistics in Piazza della Pace, the location hosting start and finish, with meticulously curated services such as refreshment points, registration, and race packages.

Undisputed and exemplary leader, Andrea Virga dominated the race and led the entire Race Mountain Team with class and moral stature. A protagonist from the early stages, as Salvatore Lo Monaco explains: "We maintained a great pace up front, which allowed us to immediately create a gap. Together with Virga, I raced with the firm intention of going all the way without ever giving up".

Three riders broke away less than 30 km from the finish on Virga's initiative, with Lo Monaco and Analfino joining. Ten kilometers from the final target, Virga made another acceleration. The team play by Lo Monaco positioned his teammate for a solo breakaway: the Palermo rider crossed the finish line with a 1'30" advantage over Lo Monaco and 3 minutes ahead of Analfino.

The Race Mountain team's season continues in the best possible way, and team director Domenico Vicari comments with enthusiasm: "A great race in which we managed to be protagonists as we promised. Our achievements are the result of a discipline that doesn't seek approval, but the development of a youth sector we particularly care about".

In the women's category, Federica Occhipinti dominated her race over Chiara Vitello and Simonetta Benedetti.
