VF GROUP BARDIANI-CSF FAIZANÈ: FEDERICO BIAGINI WINS THE SECOND STAGE OF THE GIRO DELLA VALLE D’AOSTA.
Federico Biagini triumphs in Borgofranco d'Ivrea, marking his first victory of the season and the seventh for the VF Group Bardiani-CSF Faizanè team.
Federico Biagini conquers the second stage of the Giro della Valle d’Aosta, outsprinting his breakaway companions from Verrès to Borgofranco d’Ivrea. The VF Group Bardiani-CSF Faizanè rider’s victory marks his first of the season and the seventh for the team.
“I’m happy with the result because I started with the idea of defending the red jersey. I attacked with Zamperini on the climb, then we found ourselves in a group of five and we knew we would have the chance to play it out to the end. I anticipated the sprint and gave it my all. I’ve had a lot of bad luck in this first season as a pro and winning for me was liberating. I wanted to dedicate this victory to my family and a thought goes to André Drege. Even though I didn’t know him personally, I still want to dedicate this victory to him because what happened at the Giro d’Austria touched me deeply.”
