Aurélien Paret-Peintre scored Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale’s 10th victory of 2024 on the final stage of the Tour of the Alps, a short but challenging mountainous day around Levico Terme. The Frenchman triumphed from a greatly reduced lead group to beat Antonio Tiberi (Bahrain Victorious) and brother Valentin Paret-Peintre to the win in the uphill sprint finish.
Juan Pedro López (Lidl-Trek) secured the overall race victory, his first career GC success, as no real threats to his comfortable lead materialised over the stage, which saw the riders tackle two ascents of Palù del Fersina.
The Spaniard won the race by 38 seconds from another Decathlon AG2R man, Ben O’Connor, while Tiberi rounded out the podium in third at 42 seconds.
