The first placement at the 2025 Giro Next Gen for General Store - Essegibi - F.Lli Curia was achieved yesterday by Alessio Menghini, who finished sixth at the Cantù finish line.

Today, intercepted by tuttobiciweb at the start from Albese con Cassano, the Friulian expressed his happiness about the result: "I am very happy with the placement and performance. The stage finale in the circuit proved particularly challenging, especially due to the high pace we maintained. Additionally, the finish line climb was by no means trivial."

Confidence and belief in their abilities are also shared among his teammates, as Menghini clearly states: "Yesterday's stage left us with high morale and made us understand that we can be protagonists. Today we will work to help Kevin Biehl in the best possible way ahead of the final climb, and then we'll think stage by stage, always with the desire to perform well".

Today is a tough stage, and when we ask Alessio if there are other stages he has marked to seek a personal result, the athlete from the Verona team responds, "The Salsomaggiore stage could suit my characteristics. There's a fairly long climb that shouldn't be too demanding. Tonight I'll carefully review tomorrow's route; the Maniva is still ahead of us".
