The VF Group Bardiani-CSF Faizanè celebrates a great success with Manuele Tarozzi, who won the King of the Mountains classification at the Tirreno-Adriatico. The rider from Faenza, more than ten years after the last success in this classification (when Marco Canola won in 2014), brings the green jersey back to the team’s headquarters. The last Italian to win the King of the Mountains was Nicola Bagioli, in the 2018 edition.

The team’s performance in the race was decidedly positive, with three top 10 finishes: Enrico Zanocello, who finished 10th in the second stage, and Filippo Fiorelli, who took 7th and 10th places. In addition to winning the King of the Mountains classification, VF Group Bardiani-CSF Faizanè confirmed its overall excellent performance, securing 8th place in the team classification.

These are Tarozzi’s words: “It’s a great honor for me to have won this prestigious jersey. It’s an important result for me and for the whole team. I want to thank my teammates for their support and the hard work we did together, which was rewarded today. My physical condition is continuously improving, and I hope to aim for even more significant results.”
