The Abruzzo Juniors Tour returns on Friday May 1st, Saturday May 2nd and Sunday May 3rd with stage starts in Manoppello, Casalincontrada, Tossicia, Colledara and promises to confirm itself as a great success not only from a competitive standpoint but also from a technical and organizational perspective.

A national-level event under the auspices of the Italian Cycling Federation that will see the best talents of the category compete, young riders (born in 2008 and 2009) who are eager to make the big leap into professional cycling and who are laying the foundations to build their future.

Pulling the strings of this ambitious project are Vomano Bike and Parmegiani Management, for the third consecutive year the beating heart of the entire organizational machine, working in synergy with the municipal administrations involved in each individual stage.

On Thursday, April 30th, at the Lido d'Abruzzo Village in Roseto degli Abruzzi, the team check-in and registration verification is scheduled from 2:00 PM. At 6:00 PM the team presentation will take place, where participants, technical staff, organizers and officials will share this special moment together.

On Friday, May 1st, over a distance of 93 kilometers, the first stage Manoppello – Manoppello will be held in the province of Pescara. This is the 77th May 1st Trophy City of Manoppello, which, by seniority, is second only to the professional Matteotti Trophy. Manoppello repeats the successful experience of last year thanks also to collaboration with the May 1st Trophy committee.

On Saturday, May 2nd, over a distance of 89.6 kilometers, the second stage Casalincontrada – Casalincontrada in the province of Chieti. We return one year after the previous start experience and this year it is also completed with the finish, honoring a town that has given much to the Abruzzo cycling movement, home to one of the most famous races at the amateur level such as Casalincontrada – Blockhaus.

On Sunday, May 3rd the third and final stage from Tossicia to Colledara, in the province of Teramo. It is 106.5 kilometers for the longest stage of this edition, at the foot of Gran Sasso and not far from the Sanctuary of San Gabriele dell'Addolorata, one of the most iconic religious sites in all of Abruzzo.

Four classifications with respective jerseys are planned: light blue (individual time trial – sponsored by Silicon Regolo), red (individual points – Intensive Athlete Lab), green (mountain prize – Fior di Pellets) and white (first-year riders born in 2009 - Ferrometal)
