Saturday, April 6: 4th & Final Stage, Giardini Naxos - Etna, 128 km

Stage 4 profile

The stage goes to Guillaume Martin.

Weather at the finish on Mount Etna at 2:15 PM, local time: 14C (57F), mostly cloudy, with the wind from the southeast at 13 km/hr (8 mph). 25% chance of rain this afternoon.

The race: Here's the report from final winner Brandon McNulty's Rally UHC team.

Brandon McNulty won Il Giro di Sicilia in spectacular fashion on Saturday, with Rally UHC Cycling successfully defending his Maglia Giallo Rossa leader’s jersey on the legendary slopes of Mt Etna. McNulty finished fourth on the final stage after his teammates, one by one, sacrificed themselves en route to the greatest GC triumph in team history.

In capturing the overall, Brandon McNulty became the first American in the race’s 24-year history to do so.

“This is one of the proudest moments of my career,” said McNulty. “The team was incredible and gave everything for me. It was a huge team effort on what was a truly epic stage.”

Thanks to mountainous terrain and aggressive racing, the final stage from Giardini Naxos to Mt Etna was extremely difficult to control. Time trialists Evan Huffman and Svein Tuft seized the front of the peloton and led the entire team into the base of Mt Etna. Fastman Colin Joyce took over and set the pace up the first half of the climb before Kyle Murphy, Gavin Mannion, and Rob Britton got to work managing the gap to a sole leader up the road.

With 7 km remaining, McNulty was forced to set the pace and limit the group of GC favorites ability to attack him.

“I knew what I had to do,” said McNulty. “My goal was to win the overall and as we approached the final few kilometers, I knew the other riders would start looking at the stage win. I used my TT skills to defend the jersey.”

Climbing Mount Etna

McNulty also went on to win the Best Young Rider Classification, finish second in the Points Classification behind Manuel Belletti (Androni Giocattoli – Sidermec), and third in the King of the Mountain Competition. The team took third in the Team Classification.

After founding the team in 2007, managing director Charles Aaron was proud of the team’s accomplishment. “Sicily was a full team effort,” said Aaron. “The team has really come together this last month and this success shows we can compete at a very high level with North American talent.”

The team has experienced an unprecedented amount of success in only its second year in the Professional Continental ranks.

“Personally, I am very excited for the future,” said Aaron. “To have races like Sicily, Tour of Turkey, Flèche Wallone, Tour de Yorkshire, and Amgen Tour of California shows the value of our program and is a positive sign for our team.”

Stage 4 profile:

Friday, April 5: Stage 3, Caltanissetta - Ragusa, 188 km

Stage 3 profile

Brandon McNulty wins the stage and becomes the GC leader with one tough stage to go.

Weather at the finish city of Ragusa at 2:15 PM, local time: 12C (53F), rain, with the wind from the north at 10 km/hr (6 mph). Occasional rain is expected to continue all day.

The race: The organizer posted this:

The 21-year-old American Brandon McNulty (UHC Rally), former junior Time Trial UCI World Champion, won the Caltanissetta – Ragusa stage with a solo attack in the finale. Odd Christian Eiking and Giovanni Visconti completed the day’s podium, with McNulty becoming the new leader of the General Classification.

The third stage of Il Giro di Sicilia was animated by the long breakaway of Marco Maronese (Bardiani CSF), William Perez (Coldeportes Strongman), Federico Burchio (D’Amico UM Tools), Simone Sterbini (Giotti Victoria), Niccolò Salvietti (Sangemini Trevigiani) and Jalel Duranti (Team Colpack). Once reabsorbed by the peloton, Androni’s pressure gradually reduced the group with Fausto Masnada going solo at the top of today’s KOM. Once neutralised in the descent, different riders attacked looking to escape what was left of the peloton, before McNulty’s winning move around 10km from the finish line.

Speaking seconds after the stage finish, the stage winner and Maglia Rossa e Gialla, Brandon McNulty, said: “It was incredible, when I attacked I just put my head down and went full gas. I am super happy. I am not really used to racing like this, but it seems I do well on this terrain and in this weather! Tomorrow I’ll need to defend the Jersey.”

Tour of Sicily stage three begins.

And indeed, the rain came.

Wednesday, April 3: Stage 1, Catania - Milazzo, 165 km

Stage 1 profile

Riccardo Stacchiotti wins the first stage in Milazzo

The race: Here is the organizer's summary:

The first bunch sprint of Il Giro di Sicilia crowns Riccardo Stacchiotti (Giotti Victoria – Palomar) ahead of Manuel Belletti (Androni Sidermec) and Luca Pacioni (Neri Sottoli – Selle Italia – KTM), with Stacchiotti also becoming the first leader of the General Classification. The first part of the stage was animated by a long breakaway by Krister Hagen, who went on the attack after 15km along with five other riders, then remained in a solo lead until when there were just over 15km to the finish line. Then it was Androni Sidermec who took control of the race by facing the last few kilometers in the leading positions to launch the sprinter Manuel Belletti but in the last 30 meters Stacchiotti overtook Belletti and raised his arms on Milazzo’s finish line.

The stage winner and first Maglia Rossa e Gialla, Riccardo Stacchiotti, said: “Getting the first victory of my career on Italian soil in this important race is really fantastic! The stage was tough from the start and I have to thank the team that brought me in the ideal position to do my best effort in the sprint. In the finale I followed the right wheel, Belletti, and I gave it my all. Every time I ride my bike or win a race I always think of Michele Scarponi. He taught me so much, not just as a rider but above all as a man. I am from Recanati, a village near Michele’s, and we often saw each other outside the races. I always like to remember him, especially on an occasion like this.”

The Maglia Verde Pistacchio (pistacchio green), Isaac Canton Serrano, said: “I want to thank everyone for this jersey, especially Basso and Contador who are here in Sicily. I’m very happy, it’s a great start for the whole team and being here today on the podium with Basso and Contador is a dream for me. We will try to do our best for the next few days and fight for the General Classification.”

The Maglia Bianca (white), Juan Sebastián Molano Benavides, said: “The team did a great job today but in the end I made a small mistake, I can’t be satisfied, not at all! I have to learn what happened and continue to improve. I hope to do better in the coming days.”
