For the first time in over three years, UAE Team Emirates' Davide Formolo was victorious as he soloed to the win at Coppa Agostoni after a late attack.
“I am very happy, I missed a lot the feeling of the victory," the Italian told the official website of the UAE Team Emirates post-race. "I had the task of selecting the peloton as much as I could on the Lissolo and the selection brought me in the head group with other 4 riders."
Heading into the finale, Formolo was part of a five-man lead group alongside Victor Lafay, Warren Barguil, Chris Harper and Formolo's UAE Team Emirates teammate, Marc Hirschi. With UAE having the numbers advantage, Hirschi and Formolo were able to play the right cards and ensure victory came home with the team.
"When Hirschi joined us, I focused my action on keeping a high pace in order to advantage Marc for an eventual sprint," Formolo explains. "We noticed that the opponents were controlling him, so we decided to try to exploit my freedom: I attacked on the last hill and this was the winning action.”

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024

On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point.
