With next Sunday's race on October 11th at Mercatale Val di Pesa, the IX° Piero Forconi Memorial, the junior season in Tuscany comes to a close. Riccardo Frosini, an athlete from Fosco Bessi Vangi Donoratico who recently switched teams to join Tuscany Cycling Academy, the satellite team of the Vangi Group from Calenzano, tops the performance standings. Frosini, an excellent sprinter, had a brilliant start to the season, securing three victories in April, one in May, and maintaining consistently strong performances throughout the season, returning to victory at the end of August in the Casalguidi race and on Sunday in S.Croce sull'Arno. Behind him is his teammate and Regional Road Race Champion Gioele Gabbrielleschi, who also won the Giro dei Tre Comuni, a stage race in the province of Pisa that concluded in Ponsacco. Following them is the trio from Iperfinish Fabbri Stabbia made up of Scappini, Ginesi and Mori, the excellent Giraldi, Lodovisi and Niccolò Iacopi, and rounding out the top 10 of the 2026 season are Cerone and Gastasini.
