We barely had time to dedicate an article to him about the cycling transfer market when we already need to update Tommaso Dati's victory tally. The Team Ukyo rider has indeed won the prologue of the Tour of Japan, contested in Osaka over a distance of 2,600 meters. Dati, who pedaled at an average speed of 52.602 km/h, finished ahead of Japanese rider Yamamoto and Danish rider Andersen, thus securing his third seasonal victory. There was also room in the top ten for another rider from the team led by Volpi and Boaro: Federico Iacomoni finished in ninth place.
