«Mission accomplished», to resume the words of the Androni Giocattoli team manager Sidermec Gianni Savio, who so warmly commented Matteo Spreafico's victory of the Vuelta a Venezuela.
The 25-year-old Lombard rider of Androni Giocattoli Sidermec won the 55th edition of the Venezuelan race, which just ended in Valencia with the tenth stage. Spreafico, who won the first half of the race with the victory in the time trial, is the first Italian to dominate the Vuelta a Venezuela. Gianni Savio, on the other hand, for the sixth time manages to bring one of his riders to the top of the important South American stage race.
