Today has finished the Tour of Japan, with a sprint arrival in Tokyo, in which #OrangeBlue riders have again tried to be leading riders. The young sprinter of the NIPPO Vini Fantini, Nicolas Marini, with already two victories in Japan, closes third in a sprint won by Bonifazio (Lampre-Merida). Very important placement also for the japanese Shiki Kuroeda 7° place in the sprint in his home roads.

It ends in that way a great Tour of Japan, where the NIPPO Vini Fantini team reached such good results. One victory with Nicolas Marini in the third stage, a third place always with Marini, two 7° placement with Shiki Kuroeda and Didier Chaparro, three days with the GPM leader jersey with Mattia Pozzo and a 7° place in the Global Ranking with Didier Chaparro.

Great satisfaction for all the team and management that was looking with great attention to the two May competitions, Giro d’Italia and Tour of Japan. The signal launched by the riders of the team is to be able to compete ad high level in two competitions, this is very important to know for the next month race plan.
