The men's junior Madison also turns blue. Nicola Padovan and Jacopo Vendramin seal a success of great technical and competitive quality, conquering the world title at the end of a tight, nerve-wracking race fought down to the final meter.

The two Venetian riders remain at the heart of the race, manage every sprint well and approach the final finish line with the clarity of champions. The double-points sprint becomes the turning point: Padovan and Vendramin interpret it perfectly, win and settle the matter with 28 points, ahead of the Belgians De Valck–Van Gijsel (24) and the Belarusians Baranouski–Yankouski (21).
