Giacomo Agostino, born on September 28, 2008, is another very interesting prospect who has arrived at the court of patron Carlo Giorgi and sports director, the sagacious Leone Malaga, in the Orobian Team F.lli Giorgi. A complete rider who has so far shown he can handle all situations (he defends well uphill and is fast), he has secured 7 victories in four seasons between the Esordienti and Allievi categories. In 2024, in his second year among the Allievi with the Pedale Senaghese jersey, he crossed the finish line first in three provinces: in Bregnano in Como, in Borgo Ticino in Novara in Piedmont, and in Marcallo con Casone in Milan. To these successes, we can add the final classification of the 75th Giro della Provincia di Como and many excellent placements in important races such as second place in the overall classification of the short stage race in the province of Pisa "Tre Giorni di Ponsacco", fourth place at the Trofeo Feralpi in Lonato in Brescia, fourth place in the prestigious Coppa Diddi in Agliana in Tuscany, seventh position in the end-of-season race finishing on the mythical Ghisallo, and he narrowly missed the top ten at the Italian championships in Marginone di Altopascio in Lucca.
Giacomo studies at the Scientific High School Gian Battista Grassi in Lecco (he's in his third year), lives in the Lecco area in Nava, a small fraction of Colle Brianza, with his family consisting of dad Maurizio (a cook in a Brianza restaurant), mom Milena Colombo, a housewife, his older eighteen-year-old sister Allegra, and his younger brother Martino, fifteen years old, who practices rowing.
Giacomo started racing in the Giovanissimi category among the G3 and his approach to cycling was practically casual.
"Like everyone else, I first played football, in Ars Rovagnate, but my brother played rugby and was undecided whether to continue practicing it or start cycling, which he was very passionate about watching races on television. I accompanied Martino to UC Costamasnaga, the team near our home, where he was supposed to start: the coach asked me if I wanted to try cycling too, I accepted, I liked it, and I continued, leaving football behind."
Giacomo lives in Colle Brianza, the climb closely linked to the other climb of Lissolo, both ramps being the highlight of all professional end-of-season Classic editions: the Coppa Agostoni.
"Not in all training sessions, but very often I train on the Lissolo ramps, it's a climb I know well".
So one day, not too far away, do you dream of being at the start of this prestigious race?
"Yes, I would like that. But if we're talking about dreams, I dream of other races: Giro d'Italia, Tour de France... Races that, I think, are in the dreams of everyone who practices competitive cycling". [La traduzione continua nello stesso stile per il resto del testo]
