Simone Ponzi wins Costa degli Etruschi
Neri Sottoli - Yellow Fluo takes first win of 2014
Former Astana rider Simone Ponzi started his career as a Yellow Fluo rider the best way possible by winning the first race of the Italian season, the GP Costa degli Etruschi. Ponzi made it into a lead group on the final passage of the Torre Segalari climb and attacked on the flat run-in to the finish to take a solo victory while his teammate, Mauro Finetto, capped off the result making it a one-two for the team.
Despite the number of teams looking to open their season with a win, Ponzi proved too good on the day and Yellow Fluo celebrated his eight second win and one-two on the podium.
