Young Tasmanian cyclist Vinnie Manion has had a major win over in Italy.
The 17-year-old took out Stage 1 of the Giro d’Abruzzo Juniores 2025, a 94 kilometre loop finishing in Manoppello.
Manion is currently racing for the ARA / Skip Capital team which is an Australian UCI Continental cycling team established in 2018.
He competed in the Tour of Tasmania earlier this year before heading to Italy for the European season.
Tasmanian Times is participating in the Local & Independent News Association’s (LINA) national donation drive for independent newsrooms in Australia.
The campaign will run all week, from 28 April to 4 May,
As always we’re busy doing what we do: publishing community stories by and for Tasmanians for over twenty-two years.
Although we’ve come a long way, there’s lots more we’d like to do. And from what you tell us, there is much more you’d like to see us do.
During this week we’ll be revealing some of what we have planned to improve and expand Tasmanian Times.
We believe free access to information is vital in a democracy. As a result, our reporting is open access and not hidden behind a paywall. Your donation not only supports our work but supports an important public resource.
If you’re in a position to do so, please consider making a donation at our LINA appeal page. With your generous support, we can commission more in-depth reporting on political, social, environmental and community issues in Tasmania.
An independent media presence is more important than ever in Tasmania, so let’s make it a dynamic and powerful one.
Thanks again for your support.
