What had eluded him yesterday did not escape him today. Davide Donati (Red Bull–BORA–hansgrohe Rookies) made amends on Stage 2 of the 2026 Giro Next Gen, winning in Crotone and claiming the Maglia Rosa. For the rider from Brescia, it was another highlight in a stellar 2026 campaign, which has already brought him two victories at the Giro di Sardegna among the professionals and triumph at Paris-Roubaix Espoirs.
In the sprint, Aldo Taillieu (Visma | Lease a Bike Development) and Aubin Sparfel (Decathlon CMA CGM Development Team) had no answer to Donati, who beat them convincingly. The stage turned out to be the fastest in Giro Next Gen history, with an average speed of 48.597 km/h.
