The race: The race organizer posted this report.
Looking at the startlist on the eve of the Giro di Sicilia 2022 it seemed clear that there was at least a good chance that the winner would be, once again, a home rider, a Sicilian. If last year’s victory of Nibali from Messina was significant and exciting for several reasons, one must admit that this year’s victory of Damiano Caruso from Ragusa has been quite suggestive.
Caruso versus Nibali was meant to be, and Caruso versus Nibali it has been: the former, however, is enjoying a more exciting moment in his career than his fellow Sicilian, and the impression is that he is currently not only in the best period of his cycling life but is also the most concrete Italian option for stage races. After all, finishing second in a Giro d’Italia behind a rider like Egan Bernal can hardly be a coincidence.
Damiano, as everyone knows, has spent most of his career working for his teammates, only sporadically showing his qualities as a captain, perhaps because not even he expected to be able to reach such high levels. Then, at last year’s Corsa Rosa, at almost 34 years of age, we all witnessed the epiphany of a still unfulfilled talent. Almost a year after that great achievement, we can say that it was not a flash in the pan. Caruso is one hell of a rider.
This Giro di Sicilia marks his first career victory in the overall classification of a stage race. The last time he did so was as an U23 in 2009 at the Giro delle Pesche Nettarine, the predecessor of the current Giro d’Italia U23. And the fact that such thing happened in his own Sicily is a lovely sign of destiny. He who, unlike many of his colleagues, has decided to move back to this region and live here for good.
“In Sicily you live very well, the summer lasts until November. You don’t even need to go on holiday, because there are plenty of wonderful places here,” he explained in an interview a few months ago. “If you practice cycling like me, here you find both mountains and plains and the roads are not busy. For me it is the perfect place to train. Perhaps it would have been easier to live in the centre-north for various reasons of comfort, but I wanted to return home to my family and my land. I had to prove first to myself and then to others that it is possible to return to Sicily. Today I can say that I have won my bet. This is a land which makes you cry when you leave it and makes you cry when you can finally return”. Let’s hope that this success in his homeland is just the beginning of another fine chapter to be written in his career.

Weather at the finish city of Piazza Armerina at 1:30 PM, local time: 11C (51F), partly cloudy, with the wind from the east at 29 km/hr (18 mph). There is just a 1% chance of rain.
The race: Here's the report from third-place Filippo Fiorelli's Bardiani-CSF-Faizanè team.
Another stage podium for Filippo Fiorelli, 3rd in today's stage of the Giro di Sicilia. Thanks to this placement he is now the new leader of the points classification. Good day also in Turkey where Sacha Modolo conquers the 9th place of the day in the fifth stage of the Tour of Turkey.
Filippo Fiorelli is the new points jersey of the Giro di Sicilia.
Another stage podium for the Sicilian rider of Bardiani CSF Faizanè, who with today’s third place, which joins the podium of the first stage and the eighth place of the second, conquers the points jersey of the Giro di Sicilia.
At the Giro di Sicilia stage of 171 km from Realmonte to Piazza Armerina, with a rough course and an escape initially composed of 6 men who took off reaching an important advantage that forced the group to a long run led by various teams including also Bardiani CSF Faizanè. When less than 10 km where missing to the finish-line the road begins to rise with a cross wind and the change of speed makes the group explode into several fractions. In pursuit of Fran Miholjevic, who has in the meantime broken away from his escape companions, there are about twenty men left, the best in the overall standings, including Filippo Fiorelli.
Fran Miholjevic wins from the breakaway, and he will also be the new leader of the general classification, behind him a narrow sprint of the best where Filippo Fiorelli places second, thus conquering the third place of the day, maintaining the fourth place in the general classification and conquering the new leadership of the points classification, as a deserved result of the great consistency shown in these first three stages.

These are the words of Filippo Fiorelli after the finish line: “Today the team did a great job, to try to close on the breakaway, because we wanted to find the full result, but the advantage of the breakaway was very large and we have not always found collaboration behind. Getting on the podium for a jersey is not like doing it for a victory for this I have a bit of regret, but it was anyway because all my relatives were there, and many friends and it was very emotional. As well as a great thrill and an unexpected thing it was to hear my name being acclaimed while I was on stage. I have to thank all those who have supported me on the roads since the first stage. This jersey is a new starting point for me, I hope this condition continues to rise to do something good and really important in the Giro d’Italia."

Weather at the finish city of Caltanissetta at 1:21 PM, local time: 15C (58F), partly cloudy, with the wind from the east at 18 km/hr (10 mph). No rain is forecast.
The race: 129 riders started at 11:39 AM.
Here's the report from second-place Vincenzo Nibali's Astana Qazaqstan team:
In a fast uphill finish in Caltanissetta, which crowned Stage 2 of the Giro di Sicilia, the leader of Astana Qazaqstan Team Vincenzo Nibali took a strong second place right behind the winner Damiano Caruso.
“I am quite happy with the way the stage was going on and, in general, with my result even if it is just a second place and not a victory. It was clear that Damiano was the favorite today as he is fast in this kind of short uphill. I feel like my form is coming after a big break and an altitude training camp, so it looks pretty good. I want to congratulate Damiano Caruso on this victory, it is good that another Sicilian rider won today. We are good friends, and I am happy for him. Well, it was a nice day spent with my team in a good way and I am looking forward to the next days here at the Giro di Sicilia”, – said Vincenzo Nibali.
Astana Qazaqstan Team riders worked well all together during the whole stage, keeping Vincenzo Nibali in front and protecting him from any trouble. In the end of the day thanks to teammates Vincenzo was able to get a good position in front of the group on the last uphill. Staying on the wheel of Damiano Caruso, Nibali was trying to sprint for a victory, but missed just a little and finished second.
“I think we can be happy with the way our team spent this day and with the result of Vincenzo Nibali. We knew that Caruso was the favorite for this kind of finish, and I am happy that Vincenzo was able to stay close to him, taking a really good second place. After a training camp on altitude, he still needs some days for acclimatization, but today’s stage showed that he is on the right way. We still have two days in this race with the queen stage to Etna on Friday. Let’s see what is going to happen there”, – said Giuseppe Martinelli.
Unfortunately, two riders of Astana Qazaqstan Team, Alexandre Vinokurov and Juan Carlos Lopez, were involved in a crash, but both riders escaped with some minor injuries.
After Stage 2 of the race Vincenzo Nibali is sitting on the second place in the General Classification, just 4 seconds down to Damiano Caruso.

Weather at the finish city of Bagheria at 1:45 PM, local time: 17C (63F), partly cloudy, with the wind from the northeast at 14 km/hr (9 mph). There is just a 1% chance of rain.
The race: The official start was given at 10:35 AM.
Here's the report from second-place Matteo Moschetti's Trek Segafredo team:
There was no hiding his overwhelming disappointment when Matteo Moschetti crossed the finish line in Stage 1 at the Giro di Sicilia (Tour of Sicily). On paper, he was fingered as one of the top sprinters in the four-day race, but on the road, a small error cost him and he settled for second.
“A second place is like a medal, and depending on the face you choose, you may or may not be satisfied,” said Matteo. “In my case, the second face is what I got. I’m definitely disappointed because we rode all day super motivated to win this stage and alas, we can’t rejoice.”
You have to be honest in recognizing when things don't go as you would like to and from there raise the head again.
A mass sprint is a dynamic, chaotic world where decisions need to be made in a fraction of a second. Sometimes you get it right, but many times mistakes cost you.
Matteo explained: “In the sprint, I have the regret of having started too early. Everything was perfect, we were in a great position, and then on the final straight, the timing to launch the sprint was not right. I found myself in the condition of having to start, or try to stall. A split-second decision. I actually found myself sprinting from a distance, on the final straight that was slightly uphill, so harder than we expected, and Malucelli had time and opportunity to catch up with me.”
It’s frustrating – there is no do-over. Not until the next race that is. You need to let it slide because dwelling on the ‘what-ifs’ can be detrimental. Mercifully in cycling, there are plenty of chances to get it right, and Matteo will be back.
“It was our stated goal, and above all, I wanted to finalize in the best possible way a great team effort. And this, honestly, makes the result perhaps even more bitter,” continued Matteo. “I think I did a good sprint with my legs; I had the power to win it. This is an encouraging sign for me, along with the confidence that my teammates have given me, and that lifts my mood. You have to be honest in recognizing when things don’t go as you would like to and from there raise the head again.”
This may have been the only opportunity for sprinters in the four-day Tour of Sicily with climbers’ terrain ahead, but Matteo is not throwing in the towel quite yet.
“On paper there could still be a chance in two days, but let’s see how the stage will be interpreted,” he ended.
