Another highly anticipated and hard-fought edition of the Italian Regions’ Cup goes to the archive after more than a year of waiting, given that the last edition was held in 2019 in Cagliari. This time the race was held in Asti and, after the uncertainties of the first day of competitions, today at the end of the preliminary rounds and the finals for the absolute titles – which assigned bonuses to the regional teams – there was a real battle to define the team podium.
With the passing of the matches that were worth the podium, Lombardy managed to earn the necessary points to secure the advantage it had obtained yesterday, increasing it, to be sure to remain in first place and confirm the victory obtained also in 2019.

Behind Lombardy, the whirlwind of emotions continued until the last final.
