At the conclusion of the Marche Tour in Pink on the Macerata roads of Corridonia, Federica Piergiovanni impressively won the final stage that pitted elite, under-23, and junior category riders against each other during the National Pink Day - City of Corridonia Grand Prix - Associati Fisiomed Trophy - SI with You Supermarket Cup.

The Apulian rider from Isolmant Premac Vittoria pulled away by a few seconds from Molise's Noemi Lucrezia Eremita (Born to Win-BTC City Ljubljana-Zhiraf) with a group behind regulated by Friulian Chantal Pegolo (UC Conscio Pedale del Sile), who instead crowned herself overall winner of the Tour thanks to her best placement the previous day in Offida (second behind Australian Chantelle Mc Carthy from ST Kilda Cycling Club).

The Corridonia event paid homage to Sara Piffer, the young Trentino cyclist who won last year's edition and tragically passed away on January 24th during a training ride in Mezzocorona. On the initiative of local organizers from Club Corridonia, led by president Mario Cartechini, a memorial prize titled "the luminous path of life" was presented to her parents, accompanied by a moving message from the Navajo Indian song, symbolizing strength and hope.

An emotional moment attended by Lorenzo and Marianna Piffer, Sara's parents, to testify to their daughter's love for cycling and to relaunch a heartfelt and shared appeal: the cycling movement continues to demand safety and greater protection, in the face of yet another tragedy occurring on the roads.

Showing solidarity with the Piffer family were Corridonia Mayor Giuliana Giampaoli, regional CONI Marche President Fabio Luna, and regional FCI Marche committee members Massimo Romanelli (president), Lino Secchi (former president), Maurizio Minucci (vice president), and Emanuele Senzacqua (race judges commission president), during a moment of silence remembering not only Sara Piffer but also Marche's former professional cyclist Enrico Paolini, as well as Michele Negri and Piero Pratesi (who died last week during a cycling race).
