VF Group-Bardiani CSF-Faizanè's Enrico Zanoncello has sprinted to victory on stage 1 of the 2024 Giro d'Abruzzo after a thrilling bunch sprint finish that finished incredibly close and required a photo finish.
After six men had initially broken away, just three attackers remained out front as the race entered the final 40km, around 1:20 clear of what remained of the peloton. Despite the brave effort of the trio, they were reeled back by the peloton with just over 12km to go.
From there, despite a few lone attacks, a sprint finish was always inevitable. In the race for the line, it was an incredibly close finale with three riders crossing the line side-by-side. Enrico Zanoncello eventually was given the win after a photo finish ahead of Matteo Malucelli and Manuel Penalver.

- Pidcock is starting to sound like Froome now.Sweep18-11-2024
- I think this was because there were junior women in the race. If a race has junior women am pretty sure it has to be less than 45 minutes. I believe a rule is coming in for next season that will fine organisers that don't put on a junior women's race a fine equivalent to the prize money. So fingers crossed we should see more longer elite and junior women's races from next season.NorrisHippocampe18-11-2024
- Of course he CAN. Big salary in cycling is not when you win but when they talk about you (and your team / sponsors). For every news about Jonas, MVdP or Wout there are 10 times more(!) news about Pidcock (like everyday for last 2 months?). Since cycling is advertising sport not competitive sport (in terms of from money comes from) Pidcock is winner and GOAT - change my mind. ;-)averagecyclist18-11-2024
- Why do the women CXs keep getting short changed with the length of theor races? They could have easily done another lap to put them at 50 minutes which is their time limit. Yet another CX race where they fail to reach this when they had a chance to. Come on ... the math isn't that hard to figure out lap times and divide into 50 min!frieders318-11-2024
- All pro cyclists are massively underpaid! The amount of riding and physical exertion they put their bodies through is crazy compared to other sports. I can't think of any other sport where you are physically active at a very high level of power output for hours on end each day.Pogboom17-11-2024
- When I was working for Starkist/Heinz my manager quit. So the next week my group was put under another manager. During our first meeting he asked if there was anything we needed to tell him. I said that I would be out the following week on vacation. He said "I don't know if I can let you go on vacation". I replied, "You can't tell if I can go. You can only tell me if I can come back".Sweep17-11-2024
