The 2024 Junior World Champion launched his decisive move on the Montaner climb, soloing to victory in Villa di Cordignano ahead of Slovenia’s Omrzel and Austria’s Schrettl. A minute of silence was observed before the start to honor the passing of Pope Francis

From Junior World Champion in Zurich to winner of a top-tier U23 classic in Villa di Cordignano: in under seven months, Lorenzo Finn has gone from a promising prospect to a confirmed talent, claiming victory at the Giro del Belvedere international classic.

In a cycling nation like Italy—always searching for the next rider capable of sparking the fans’ passion—new hope has been ignited. The talent riding for the RedBull-BORA-Hansgrohe Development Team made a spectacular debut at the Easter Monday Classic, immediately leaving his mark.

Behind Finn, Slovenia’s Jakob Omrzel (Bahrain Victorious) and Austrian national champion Marco Schrettl (Tirol KTM) rounded out the podium, on a day overshadowed by the news of Pope Francis’ passing. The news reached Villa di Villa once the event operations were already underway. The organizing committee, Pro Belvedere, honored the moment with a heartfelt minute’s silence before delivering a day of high-level cycling in respectful tribute to a loss deeply felt across both religious and civic […]

Pubblico delle grandi occasioni nella 78a edizione della classica internazionale veneta. La soddisfazione di Gianfranco Carlet: “Gara incerta ed entusiasmante che ha premiato un corridore di sicuro avvenire”

Il primo appuntamento internazionale Under 23 in Italia è storia di quarantotto ore fa. L’urlo di gioia del campione svizzero Patrick Muller, primo sul traguardo di Villa di Cordignano (Treviso), e il boato della folla che ha animato dal primo all’ultimo chilometro la 78a edizione del Giro del Belvedere sono destinati ad entrare nella storia di un evento che si conferma anno dopo anno un banco di prova per chi ambisce al salto tra i professionisti.
E’ stata una corsa combattuta sin dalle fasi iniziali, quella andata in scena in terra veneta, resa ancora più incerta dall’inserimento dello strappo di Via delle Longhe che ha contribuito a movimentare un finale entusiasmante, dominato dallo spunto veloce del talento elvetico che non ha lasciato scampo a Nicola Bagioli (Zalf Euromobil Dèsirèe Fior) e al croato Josip Rumac (Sinergy Baku). Ma il Giro del Belvedere 2016 è stato soprattutto un successo organizzativo e di pubblico, in un territorio che unisce passione, storia e tradizione per il mondo delle due ruote.

“E’ stata una delle edizioni più incerte degli […]

Team BMC’s perfect race leads Patrick Muller to success in the Italian classic surrounded by an impressive crowd. Italian Bagioli and Croat Rumac rounded out the podium.

Three years after Stefan Küng’s victory, American BMC Team led another Swiss rider to success in Villa di Cordignano (Treviso, Northern Italy). The 78th Giro del Belvedere’s outcome delighted Patrick Muller, the Swiss national champion turning 20 in a few days, who wrapped up in style the perfect race of his team with a powerful sprint on the slightly sloping finish.

The race sparkled up quite early, as the main move of the day happened very soon when 16 riders launched on attack after 30 km, three of whom managed to be in contention for the win until the final metres: Croatia’s Josip Rumac (third overall), Italy’s Stefano Ippolito and USA’s Taylor Eisenhart, Muller’s teammate at BMC, who was in the spotlights the whole day.

“Eisenhart was a perfect reference point for me – Patrick Muller explained – as well as the team, tirelessly working to bring me to the sprint at my best. I couldn’t hope for anything better”.
