Nineteen-year-old Lorenzo Mark Finn of the Red Bull-BORA-hansgrohe Rookies won the 2026 Tour de l’Avenir, securing the overall victory and the yellow jersey after a solo breakaway in the final two kilometers of the seventh stage at Ceresole Reale-Lago Serrù.

Finn’s performance marks the first time an Italian cyclist has won the prestigious youth title in 53 years, a feat last achieved by Gianbattista Baronchelli in 1973. By winning both the Giro Next Gen and the Tour de l’Avenir in the same year, Finn has become the first rider to achieve this specific double since Baronchelli’s 1973 season. This victory, combined with his success at the Under 23 World Championship, completes an extraordinary season for the rider.

In addition to the general classification, Finn also secured both the climber and youth classifications. Cordiano Dagnoni, president of the Italian Cycling Federation, praised Finn as an example of professionalism, noting that his success reflects the growth of Italian youth cycling, which currently holds a top position in the UCI Under 23 rankings. Other notable Italian performances in this edition included Davide Stella, a stage winner, and Thomas Capra, who led the points classification.
