Career
editBorn in Pordenone, Cimolai has competed as a professional since the 2010 season, competing for the Liquigas–Doimo team until the end of 2011, when he joined the Lampre–ISD squad for the 2012 season.[6] Cimolai made his Grand Tour début at the 2012 Vuelta a España, where he was the Lampre–ISD team's main sprinter in a climber-stacked squad; he finished inside the top ten of a stage for the first time, when he placed seventh on the second stage.[7][8]
Cimolai's first two professional wins came in 2015. He won the Italian Trofeo Laigueglia classic, then, a month later, won the fifth stage of Paris–Nice.[9][10] In May 2019, he was named in the startlist for the 2019 Giro d'Italia.[11]
