Bahrain Victorious’ Antonio Tiberi pulled off a stunning victory at the 2024 Tour de Luxembourg, overtaking Mathieu van der Poel in a dramatic finale to stage 5. As David Gaudu claimed the stage win, Tiberi's late attack secured him the overall title.
Starting the day 10 seconds behind van der Poel in the general classification, Tiberi launched a decisive move in the final moments of the stage. Finishing fourth on the day, more than 20 seconds ahead of the Dutchman, the 23-year-old Italian snatched the yellow jersey and sealed his first stage race victory.
“When they told me at the finish line that I did it, I was super happy!” Tiberi said via the Bahrain Victorious press release. “This is my first stage race win and the first time wearing the yellow jersey. I’m so happy. It’s been a fantastic week with great results. Everyone on the team performed well, and we were really united. Luxembourg is a beautiful place, and I truly enjoyed this week.”
Tiberi’s impressive form this season continues to build, having already secured the young riders classification at the Giro d'Italia earlier this year. Reflecting on his success, he added: “This victory boosts my morale for the upcoming races, especially the Worlds and Il Lombardia.”
With this victory in Luxembourg, Tiberi will be one to watch as the season heads into its final weeks, including the World Championships and the prestigious Il Lombardia.
