Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team open Italian Classics campaign with top-five in Giro di Romagna

With 20km to go, Mark Donovan, Gianluca Brambilla and Fabio Christen were positioned well in the front group after Walter Calzoni launched an attack alongside eventual winner Christian Scaroni. Despite repeated efforts to close the gap, Scaroni’s advantage grew to 30 seconds with 9km remaining.

In the reduced bunch sprint for the chasing group, Fabio Christen finished 4th while Gianluca Brambilla secured 5th, underlining the team’s collective strength.

This is just the start of our Italian Classics campaign, and today we showed that we have the depth to be competitive, and score some UCI points and top results leading into the 2026 season.

We will keep building momentum for the races to come.
