Santa Cristina Gela is one of the smallest municipalities in Sicily but... they do things in a big way and the 1st Cycling Trophy lived up to expectations, delivering spectacular action and great emotions. The event, promoted by the Asd Grasso Villanti and sponsored by the Municipality, saw Amateur, Junior and Beginner categories at the start.

Amateurs. With a superb performance (not even a fall in the first lap could stop him), Stefano Bartolotta from ASD Di Prima Immobiliare secured the final victory by imposing a hellish pace from the first lap. The 4.2-kilometer course - without a single flat meter - to be repeated 15 times, put the participants to a tough test. A hard race conditioned by the great heat, completely dominated by Bartolotta who launched a vigorous and decisive attack on the third lap, arriving alone at the finish line with an advantage of over 4 minutes over Troia, Guttuso and Ampola.
