Alessandro Covi of UAE Team Emirates-XRG achieved a significant victory on stage 1 of the Giro d'Abruzzo, his first win in three years. The Italian cyclist, supported by teammates Rune Herregodts and Ivo Oliveira, executed a powerful sprint to win after a grueling uphill finish in Crecchio. UAE Team Emirates-XRG demonstrated remarkable team strength, securing their 12th win in 2025. Covi now wears the blue and green leader's jersey heading into the challenging second stage, which includes several climbs. His determination and teamwork played crucial roles in his success.
"It's super nice, as always when you win. It's difficult because it's after three years but we are professional, we work for this victory every day of the week."
"Obviously I had in the program this race and I see this finale which was a good opportunity. With the team, we tried to make it so we arrived in a small group for the finish, which we did perfectly, and I won in the sprint."
