In a thrilling conclusion to the 107th Coppa Bernocchi held on October 5 in Lombardy, Italy, Decathlon CMA CGM’s young sprinter Noa Isidore emerged victorious. At just 22, he surged ahead in a tight bunch sprint, outdueling Tommaso Dati and Marijn van den Berg to claim one of the biggest wins of his burgeoning career.

The 178.1‑kilometre race, known for its rolling circuits and punchy climbs, lived up to its reputation as attacks animated the peloton throughout. In the closing kilometre, a crash shook up the front group—French star Filippo Ganna was involved—but Isidore remained focused and launched a perfectly timed sprint that saw him power past Dati in the final metres.

This victory marks Isidore’s third professional win of the season—following two stage wins at the Tour du Limousin—and stands as his first major one‑day triumph. The result confirms his rising status as a force in fast finishes and highlights his growing consistency across varied race conditions.

With such momentum, Isidore could become one to watch in upcoming races like Tre Valli Varesine, scheduled for October 6. His ability to stay composed amid chaos and deliver a punchy sprint under pressure suggests he may be an emerging contender in the late‑season Italian classics.

For general riders and fans, Isidore’s story is an inspiring reminder that even in seasoned events, young talents can seize the moment. Coppa Bernocchi demonstrated once again how unpredictable and compelling one-day racing can be—where timing, resilience, and a bit of luck can deliver breakthrough success.
