Excellent performance by Alessio Martinelli, rider of VF Group Bardiani-CSF Faizanè, who took seventh place in the third stage of the Tour du Limousin. In the finale, when the last climb towards Masseret (1100 m at 8.3%) had already begun, Martinelli was the first to launch the sprint with 300 meters to go, securing a Top 10 finish.

Tomorrow’s stage, finishing in the regional capital Limoges, will represent the team’s last chance at the Tour du Limousin before the Tour du Poitou-Charentes. The race will be broadcast live on Discovery+ starting at 3:30 p.m.
