Jannik Sinner sends rare 2-word message to cyclist friend Giulio Ciccone after Tour of the Alps feat
Jannik Sinner shared a rare, heartfelt message for his longtime friend Giulio Ciccone after the cyclist’s recent success at the Tour of the Alps.
“Mamma Miaa,” Sinner wrote on social media in reaction to Ciccone’s impressive performance, a short but emotional message that reflected his excitement and pride.
Ciccone, fresh off his victory, revealed that Sinner had teased him just days earlier about being the only one in their friend group yet to secure a win in 2025. That group includes Formula E driver Antonio Giovinazzi, who recently triumphed at the 6 Hours of Imola.
“Just yesterday I was chatting with my friend Jannik Sinner—we’ve been training together on the bike recently—and he joked that I was the only one still winless this year. Not anymore! Now we’re all square,” Ciccone shared after his win. “I’m sure he’s watching and will keep following the race, especially since we’ll soon pass by his hometown, Sesto Pusteria.”
The cyclist also praised Sinner’s friendship, especially during demanding high-altitude training sessions away from home.
“In professional sports, no matter the discipline, it’s never easy to stay 100% focused—especially during long training stints. Having a friend like Jannik helps keep your spirits up,” Ciccone said.
Sinner, who is expected to make his return at the 2025 Italian Open following his doping suspension, continues to stay active and close to his inner circle while preparing for his comeback.
