Manuele Tarozzi has claimed the Tour of Shanghai 2026. Managing the advantage acquired thanks to his winning solo effort in the closing stages of yesterday's stage, the Faenza-based rider from Bardiani CSF 7 Saber has secured the overall classification of the short Chinese stage race 2.2, standing on the top step of the podium ahead of Zeb Kyffin (Terengganu Cycling Team), 2nd at 13", and Kurt Eather (CCACHE x BODYWRAP), 3rd at 16".

Fourth place went to Jesper Rasch, who, despite missing out on a top-3 finish, consoled himself by winning the sprint that brought the curtain down on the event, ahead of the aforementioned Eather (from whom he thus snatched the points classification leadership) and Luke Mudgway (Li Ning Star).

For the Dutch rider from China Anta Mentech Cycling Team, this marked his first victory in three years (his last win dated back to the 2023 Tour of Hainan) and his sixth overall in his career, one more than Tarozzi's, who, bringing his career tally to five victories after claiming the overall classification's pink jersey, has gifted his team (which today achieved 6th and 10th place finishes with Filippo Cettolin and Enrico Zanoncello) the seventh and eighth wins of the season and 48 precious UCI points.
