Matteo Moschetti Wins Stage 2 of Vuelta a Burgos

From the start, Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team kept the race under control. With Damien Howson, David González, Nick Zukowsky, Nicoló Parisini, Xabier Mikel Azparren, and Fabio Christen all riding in support of Moschetti, the plan was to deliver Matteo to the final corner in the best possible position.

Four riders went up the road early and gained a maximum lead of four minutes. It was David González and Xabier Mikel Azparren who took responsibility in the second half of the race to bring the breakaway back. The break was caught with just under eight kilometers to go, and the team immediately regrouped.

The final 5km were fast and technical, but the team executed their sprint plan to perfection, launching Moschetti into prime position for the final push to the line.

“It was a nice stage,” Matteo Moschetti reflected after the finish. “From the second half of the race, we controlled the break with David and Xabier. They did a great job to catch the break. The final 5km were pretty fast, and the boys did an amazing job. It was super important to be well placed in the final corner, and they did a perfect lead-out. Nick and Parisini did the last push, and then I launched. It was super fast—I thought I went too early, but in the end, it was a photo finish. I threw the bike on the line, and I won.”
