Trofeo Laigueglia: Santiago Buitrago bolts from breakaway for solo victory

LAIGUEGLIA, ITALY - MARCH 04: Santiago Buitrago of Colombia and Team Bahrain - Victorious celebrates at finish line as race winner during the 63rd Trofeo Laigueglia 2026 a 192km one day race from Albenga to Laigueglia on March 04, 2026 in ALaigueglia, Italy. (Photo by Tim de Waele/Getty Images).

Santiago Buitrago (Bahrain Victorious) attacked away solo in the final 10km to win the 2026 Trofeo Laigueglia, beating Romain Grégoire (Groupama-FDJ United) and teammate Antonio Tiberi to top spot on Italy's Ligurian coast on Wednesday.

Racing with the numeric advantage for the final 15km, the Bahrain Victorious duo knew they had to get rid of the on-paper faster finisher, Grégoire, and it was Buitrago who did just that over the last ascent of the 1.9km Colla Micheri climb.
