Cyclisme : Santiago Buitrago triumphs solo at the Trofeo Laigueglia

Santiago Buitrago of Bahrain Victorious secures a stunning solo victory at the 2026 Trofeo Laigueglia. He attacks with 10 kilometers to go, outpacing Romain Grégoire (Groupama-FDJ United) and teammate Antonio Tiberi on the Ligurian coast. Buitrago’s decisive move occurs on the steep Colla Micheri climb, where he shakes off Grégoire's challenge. He extends his lead on the Capo Mele, powering into the finish in Laigueglia to claim his first one-day race victory and his first win in over a year. Grégoire finishes strong in second, while Tiberi ends up off the podium. The race features a 192-kilometer course reminiscent of the upcoming Milan-San Remo, with early breaks including Louis Vervaerke (Soudal-QuickStep) leading at one point. The Bahrain Victorious duo solidifies their dominance in the final circuits.
