Romain Gregoire toasts the Palio del Recioto



The 59th edition of the Gp Palio del Recioto - Trofeo C&F Resinatura Blocchi crowned Romain Gregoire (Groupama FDJ) today.

Romain Gregoire arrived at the finish line alone after attacking in the last kilometres of a spectacular race that was tight from the start. The podium was completed by Colombian Edgar Andres Pinzon (Colombia Tierra de Atletas) and Norwegian Johannes Staune Mittet (Jumbo Visma), who finished just a few seconds behind the Frenchman.

"A great victory, for me, but above all for my team, made possible by the extraordinary work of my teammates: with a team like that, I couldn't help but win," the winner of the 'dream race', which returned to Negrar di Valpolicella (VR) three years after Matteo Sobrero's success, said immediately after the finish. "Now I'll take a rest and then prepare the Giro d'Italia Under 23 because I really like the races in Italy and I always want to do well".
