A project born 4 years ago, built on strong values as the sports ethics and the growth first human and then sporty of the athletes. This is the vision that, for the fourth year, has encouraged the project Main Sponsor, Vini Fantini Company property of Farnese Group of Mr Valentino Sciotti, to involve himself again in the gestion of an Elite/Under23 Team which represents the Professional Team ideal ground. A team, which for organization and modus operandi will follow the traces of the professional Team and which, like the last seasons, will be affiliated to the FCI Abruzzo Region of the president Mauro Marrone. A choice shared with the Management to allow the always growing group of young riders from Abruzzo to keep dreaming and making the beautiful sport.
It is not a coincidence if the Under23 Team athletes are all born in Abruzzo, land of the Main Sponsor Vini Fantini: to support the expert captains Francesco Pedante and Mattia Marcelli (born in 1991 and taken from the Colpack Team) there will be Simone Fonzi, Emanuele Onesti, Emanuele Sabatini and Andrea Di Renzo.

A cycling project destinated to the success, the enhanced value and to the progressive growth of the young athletes.
