Well done*, Matthew!

At just 22 years old, Matthew Riccitello made his mark on the 2025 edition of the Vuelta by capturing the white jersey as the best young rider.

The American rider from the I-Premier Tech team showcased impressive consistency over the three weeks of racing. Long in a tight battle with Giulio Pellizzari, Riccitello capitalized on the decisive stages to turn the tide, particularly during the time trial and in the high mountains, where he confirmed his qualities as a well-rounded climber.
