Castelbuono International Road Race

The 99th edition of the Castelbuono International Road Race, run on July 26, 2025, on the day of Saint Anne, provided a memorable finale. Yeman Crippa (Fiamme Oro Padova) triumphed with a time of 34'16, bringing the Italian flag back to the top of the roll of honor thirty-six years after the last Italian victory, signed by Salvatore Bettiol in 1989.

The race, held on the town circuit of the historic center for a distance of 11.273 km, was decided in the final stages: on the penultimate lap, Crippa overtook the Briton Emile Cairess, then pulled away definitively on the Mario Levante climb. Behind them, the Norwegian Sondre Moen finished third, ahead of the Australian Jack Rayner and the Italian Alessandro Giacobazzi. As is tradition, thousands of spectators enlivened Castelbuono, in the province of Palermo, for one of the most heartfelt nights of sport in Sicily.
