The 2015 Trofeo Laigueglia was the 52nd edition of the Trofeo Laigueglia road cycling race. For the first time, the race was ranked as a 1.HC race by the UCI.[1] It was part of the 2015 UCI Europe Tour and was held on 19 February 2015.[2]
The 2014 champion was José Serpa (Lampre–Merida), but he was not selected to defend his title.[3] Philippe Gilbert (BMC Racing Team) had intended to start the race, but a stomach illness caused his withdrawal.[4] Favourites for victory in the race included Moreno Moser and Dan Martin (both Cannondale–Garmin), Oscar Gatto (Androni Giocattoli), Damiano Cunego (Nippo–Vini Fantini) and Fabio Felline (Italy).[5]
The race was hilly throughout, with two difficult climbs in the final 10 kilometres (6 miles), including the difficult climb of Colla Micheri.[5][6]
The race was won by Davide Cimolai (Lampre–Merida), from a 24-man sprint. This was the third year in a row that a Lampre cyclist had won the race, following Serpa in 2014 and Filippo Pozzato in 2013.[7] It was Cimolai's first ever professional victory.[8]
