Filippo Fiorelli (Bardiani - CSF - Faizane) won the first stage of the Sibiu Tour in Romania. It's the first victory of the season for the Sicilian athlete.
The second stage from Brezoi to Sibiu with over 200km of racing ended with a sprint which was won by Filippo Fiorelli. His victory pushed him to the overall leader position in the GC and he will begin the next stage with the yellow jersey.
“A truly sought-after victory this year and today.I unlocked because I was already in good condition from the Giro di Sicilia, I went out for a bad day at the Giro d'Italia, but I immediately got back into racing at the Tour of Norway and then in Slovenia and the Italian. I have to thank my teammates who have all done a splendid job, some from afar like Battaglin, some on the climb like Martinelli, and some on the final train like Marcellusi and Colnaghi. And my DS who have always supported me and believed in me, as well as my mom. With the victory also came the leader's jersey, but the general classification is not our primary goal,” said stage winner Fiorelli.

santiagobenites12-11-2024 - Most of Cavendish's wins where off the back of a sprint train so ½ of the effort was already done...
leedorney12-11-2024 - Quite right, writing off Jonas for 2025 victory after what he still managed under the circumstances is a big mistake. Riders are probably peaking younger these days which means they may not last as long and we might have to stop expecting progress until early thirties.Mistermaumau12-11-2024
- You only had to look at the faces of half the riders at the front to see what was going on. Looking to the side into tge crowds to hide their incapacity to stay serious and concentrated.Mistermaumau12-11-2024
- Maybe the greatest sprinter on roads but not the greatest pure sprinter, I think that’d be the chap who consistently beats everyone almost all the time, who at 27 has already been world champion 16x, european champion 12x, amassed 5 olympic golds plus a bronze and is far from finished. He may not becomes the first ever person to average 80km/h in a sprint (without a lead-out) but no-one has got closer.Mistermaumau11-11-2024
- If one can improve so can the other. The other day we were discussing Tadej’s leg shape change, if that is anything to go by, Jonas has plenty of potential left too.Mistermaumau11-11-2024
- He should exit to free up.the budget for younger riders and help the team reach its full potential. Basically he is just taking from the team at this point because he cannot bring any new money in from his performances. I mean sure getting to live the life of a pro another year as a circus attraction of sorts might be fun but it's just gotten selfish the past 2 years.northcarolinaeric11-11-2024
- Pog is the modern day Merckx. And the best part is he is a very nice guy too!
ScottG11-11-2024 - ok, I respect your opinion but I don't agree with your perception. We talking informally about cycling, riders, who it's a pleasure to watch in more competitions, etc. Then we can't talk about nothing because all is hurting, all is incorrect..
