The 23-year-old  from Voghera, Italy, raced aggressively and out-sprinted his competition from a select lead group. He narrowly edged out Tobias Lund Andresen (Team dsm – firmenich) and last year’s GC winner, Matej Mohorič (Bahrain – Victorious), in a heart-stopping finish.

The final 4km of the race were crucial. With all the climbs behind them, it was a test of nerve, skill, and strategy on the downhill. Parisini, took a momentary lead at the 2.5 km mark, glancing back to gauge the intentions of his competitors. As the peloton approached the final kilometer, a sharp left-hand hairpin turn awaited them. Parisini expertly navigated the turn, finding himself in the fourth wheel. Tactically positioning himself behind Mohorič, he timed his sprint to perfection, launching an early sprint that saw him cross the finish line first.

This season Parisini has been mainly on lead-out duties for teammate Matteo Moschetti, who has clinched two victories this year. However, this victory at the CRO Race is a testament to Parisini’s individual talent and determination.
