(Reuters) -Italian rider Giulio Ciccone claimed his first stage win in almost two years at the Tour of the Alps but may consider changing his signature celebration after receiving a fine for throwing his sunglasses into the crowd.

Ciccone (Lidl-Trek) sprinted to victory in Monday's opening stage and, overjoyed at his first success since 2023, launched his sunglasses as he crossed the finishing line in San Lorenzo Dorsino.
