The last shall be first. A maxim that proved true at the Italian Junior Team Time Trial Championships in Rome, at the Terme di Caracalla circuit, where the last to start from the blocks - the highly favored Marchigian Petrucci Zero24 Cycling Team - were the only ones to break the twenty-minute barrier: Andrea Alessiani, Edoardo Fiorini, and twins Filippo and Tommaso Cingolani stopped the clock at 19'39''73, averaging 45.773 km/h. Second were the predominantly Lazio-based Work Service Coratti: despite Lorenzo Ferraro's chain slip at the start, the trio of Paris-Graziani-Antonelli finished with an excellent 20'34''94. On the lowest step of the podium, Faizanè Sandrigo, who in 20'37''56 had displaced the Petrucci team from the "hot seat" that had opened the dance at 20'41''62. 25 teams from across Italy participated.
