Alexey Lutsenko wins the Giro d’Abruzzo

È Alexey Lutsenko the winner of the Giro d’Abruzzo. The Kazakh national champion sealed the leader blue jersey in the final stage, the 173-kilometer Montorio al Vomano-L’Aquila, which saw Pavel Sivakov triumph.

The two went into a breakaway, in the company of George Bennett, on the ramps of the Castel del Monte GPM when there were 55 km to go. The trio continued by mutual agreement until the final straight on a slight climb where Sivakov got the better of his fellow adventurers in a sprint.

Thanks to the bonus seconds, the UAE Team Emirates rider è moved up to second place in the overall standings at 31″ from Lutsenko with Bennett completing the podium at 34″. Lutsenko also took home the cyclamen jersey and green jersey while Marco Brenner took the white jersey for best young rider.

These are Lutsenko’s statements: “For us it was more important to win the overall classification than today’s stage. Max [Kanter] and the guys did a great job because è today’s profile was full of pitfalls. When è the decisive attack started, I thought Adam [Yates] and Diego [Ulissi] would come back, but since there were three of us left and the gap was growing, I rode as a leader, controlling the situation. In the last 10 km I felt that the victory was getting closer and closer. I found The Giro d’Abruzzo to be tougher than The Giro di Sicilia a year ago forò in general I have to say that I like racing at this time of year, also in preparation for Liège-Bastogne-Liège and other events like the Tour de France, where I want to try to win a stage. The Olympic Games are a big goal for me and for Kazakhstan, as well as the World Championships”.

Word now to Sivakov: “This victory è great for my confidence. When I attacked, I didn’t expect that we would go away. It was not a very steep climb, but when Lutsenko started to pull, the gap è increased to 1’30”. At one point I realized it would be complicated for the group behind to come back, so I saved my energy to aim for the stage. I launched the sprint very late, because there was a long uphill straight. I want to restart from this race to better prepare for my season, which was slowed down by a crash at the beginning of the year. In the last two weeks I started to feel better and today I proved it”.

Carlos Sainz returns on farewell to Ferrari and è candid about Lewis Hamilton

During an interview given to the microphones of the Spanish newspaper “As”, Carlos Sainz è returned to talk about his farewell to Ferrari to make way for seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton starting in 2025.

“I have no negative words toward Ferrari, and I don&#39t think they have any negative feelings toward me either. It’s a relationship that hasn’t been broken because we’re not happy with each other, but because of a circumstantial issue. I remain convinced that if Hamilton had not wanted to end his career at Ferrari, I would have renewed. To a seven-time world champion, però è impossible to say no and I understand the team&#39s choice to confirm Charles and not me” began the Spanish driver.

“When I arrived at Ferrari, the team was going through a very difficult time. In 2020 they were far behind the best. I am very proud of the progress this team has made thanks in part to my work. These have been seasons that have allowed me to win my first F1 races, get my first pole positions and win several podiums. I am happy to have come to a historic team and to have had the pleasure of driving Ferrari over these years” continued the’former McLaren.

“Charles è one of the fastest drivers I have ever faced, especially on a dry lap. Between us the difference è always been minimal. The only problems came from always going to the track together, one after the other, but that è was the advantage of Ferrari with a very balanced pair of drivers” added the Spanish number 55.

“My next adventure will be at Williams, where I will try to do something similar to what I did in Ferrari and McLaren. I want to help the team improve moving forward. I have the experience and the good energy to help them progress. I have been good in the past and my next goal è to bring the stable to the top 10. If we do well in the next two years, I would like to be able to bet on Williams again in the future” concluded Carlos Sainz.

CONI President Giovanni Malagò spoke at the Allianz Tower in Milan on the sidelines of an event with Olympic and Paralympic athletes who participated in the Paris Games. During his speech, the Rome native wanted to dwell on the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics and the role that Jannik Sinner will play, who will be one of the volunteers contributing to the event’s organization.

“The origins of Jannik Sinner, who è is from South Tyrol, suggest that he could have become the world number one in skiing. This we can never know, but we certainly know that he è become the number one in tennis” began the CONI president.

“Volunteers are crucial to the Olympics. Without them such an event would not be economically sustainable. Sinner will be the No. 1 volunteer in Milan-Cortina. It’s really a lot of stuff” added Giovanni Malagò.
