A few kilometers before the finish, Christian Scaroni attacked alongside Santiago Buitrago from Bahrain-Victorious, but their rivals caught them on the final stretch. In the sprint, XDS Astana Team riders Nicola Conci and Clément Champoussin secured 3rd and 4th places, respectively.<p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;caret-color:rgb(0, 0, 0);color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Aptos, sans-serif;font-size:medium;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:18.4px;margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;orphans:auto;text-align:start;text-decoration:none;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:auto;word-spacing:0px;">By finishing in this lead group, Scaroni ensured his overall victory. Another XDS Astana Team rider, Lorenzo Fortunato, placed 5th in the General Classification.<blockquote><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;caret-color:rgb(0, 0, 0);color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Aptos, sans-serif;font-size:medium;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:18.4px;margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;orphans:auto;text-align:start;text-decoration:none;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:auto;word-spacing:0px;">“The stage was really tough. Right from the start, our rivals put a lot of pressure on our team, making it difficult to control the race. There were many attacks, but our team handled everything – my teammates had an incredible race and neutralized every move! In the finale, Buitrago attacked, and I gave everything I had to respond. It was tough – over the last 500 meters of the climb, he went all-out to drop me, but I managed to hold on. After we crested the summit, we had a small advantage over the chasers, but I didn’t have the strength to fight for the stage win – it was too risky to reach the finish alongside Buitrago. So, in the end, it was good that the group caught us and contested the victory. I'm happy that I was able to hold onto the lead and win the overall classification. I'm so proud of our team and what we achieved in these races”, – said Christian Scaroni.</blockquote><blockquote><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;caret-color:rgb(0, 0, 0);color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Aptos, sans-serif;font-size:medium;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:18.4px;margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;orphans:auto;text-align:start;text-decoration:none;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:auto;word-spacing:0px;">“It was expected that today would not be easy for us, and from the very start of the race, we felt that pressure. I am very pleased with how all our riders performed today, showing composure and confidence in their actions. I would also like to highlight Christian Scaroni – he handled the attempts to take the lead from him in the finale and did an excellent job responding to his rivals’ attacks. Today's overall classification victory is a result that the team absolutely deserved”, – added Bruno Cenghialta, Sports Director of XDS Astana Team.</blockquote><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;caret-color:rgb(0, 0, 0);color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Aptos, sans-serif;font-size:medium;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:18.4px;margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;orphans:auto;text-align:start;text-decoration:none;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:auto;word-spacing:0px;">Photo credit: ©SprintCycling

Scaroni wins Tour des Alpes-Maritimes

<p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;caret-color:rgb(0, 0, 0);color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Aptos, sans-serif;font-size:medium;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:18.4px;margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;orphans:auto;text-align:start;text-decoration:none;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:auto;word-spacing:0px;">Christian Scaroni secured the first victory of the 2025 season for&nbsp;XDS Astana Team. Today, Scaroni claimed a brilliant win in the French one-day race, the Classic Var.<p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;caret-color:rgb(0, 0, 0);color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Aptos, sans-serif;font-size:medium;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:18.4px;margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;orphans:auto;text-align:start;text-decoration:none;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:auto;word-spacing:0px;">With the support of&nbsp;Nicola Conci, Scaroni positioned himself well on the climb in the final kilometer. Then, the&nbsp;XDS Astana Team&nbsp;rider launched a powerful acceleration, which led him to victory.<blockquote><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;caret-color:rgb(0, 0, 0);color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Aptos, sans-serif;font-size:medium;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:18.4px;margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;orphans:auto;text-align:start;text-decoration:none;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:auto;word-spacing:0px;">“The finale was quite chaotic, as almost the entire group, about a hundred riders, reached the final kilometers together, so maintaining a good position was crucial. I knew it wouldn’t be easy, but I was ready to give my all on the final climb. My legs felt great, and I had the strength for the final acceleration. Nicola Conci, with whom I’ve raced together before, did an amazing job, bringing me to the perfect position for the finale. He set a fantastic pace, putting us in front at the right moment. I waited for someone to attack first, which happened 500 meters before the finish. Then, I counterattacked just before the last turn to enter it first. I gave 100%, accelerating before the turn and continuing to push immediately after, creating a small gap. I felt everything was going perfectly and that our team’s first victory of the season was within reach. I’m incredibly happy&nbsp;– the team worked flawlessly, and I managed to finish the job with a win. Additionally, this marks our first success on the new&nbsp;X-LAB&nbsp;bikes. It’s an amazing bike, very fast and highly responsive to power accelerations, and our results at the start of the season prove it. A huge thanks to the entire team and our partners for their support”, –&nbsp;said&nbsp;Christian Scaroni.</blockquote><blockquote><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;caret-color:rgb(0, 0, 0);color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Aptos, sans-serif;font-size:medium;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:18.4px;margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;orphans:auto;text-align:start;text-decoration:none;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:auto;word-spacing:0px;">“The team worked exceptionally well today, and we were fully focused on achieving the best possible result in this race. Unfortunately, even before the start, we lost one rider – Simone Velasco&nbsp;couldn’t participate due to illness, so we had to slightly adjust our initial plan. Also,&nbsp;Clément Champoussin&nbsp;suffered a puncture 6 km before the finish, which forced him to chase back and cost him his position in the group. He was ready for a strong result today but had a bit of bad luck. Despite these setbacks, everything went very well, and our riders reached the final kilometers in front. Christian Scaroni had been waiting for this victory, his first with our team, and his joy was immense. He truly deserved this success, especially after such a strong start to the season”, –&nbsp;added&nbsp;Bruno&nbsp;Cenghialta,&nbsp;Sports&nbsp;Director of&nbsp;XDS Astana Team.</blockquote><p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;caret-color:rgb(0, 0, 0);color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Aptos, sans-serif;font-size:medium;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:18.4px;margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;orphans:auto;text-align:start;text-decoration:none;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:auto;word-spacing:0px;">Another&nbsp;XDS Astana Team&nbsp;rider,&nbsp;Clément Champoussin, finished in seventh place.<p style="-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;caret-color:rgb(0, 0, 0);color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Aptos, sans-serif;font-size:medium;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;line-height:18.4px;margin:0cm 0cm 8pt;orphans:auto;text-align:start;text-decoration:none;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;widows:auto;word-spacing:0px;">Photo credit: ©SprintCycling
