#cyclingworld2.0 and #expertise: Manzoni together with Giuliani, ready to set up NIPPO – Vini Fantini 2015.
Mario Manzoni, born in 1969, has been working for 14 years as Pro rider and 10 years as Sporting Director.
In 2015, he will manage with Stefano Giuliani the new team formation NIPPO – Vini Fantini – De Rosa. This is an innovative Pro project, a new reality that calls itself “the new start-up of the cycling world” in order to grow, according a new approach guided by the keywords: clarity and marketing image. Together with Stefano Giuliani, first sporting director of the team, Mario Manzoni will lead the team. After an important career as sporting director in the Juniores category and developed in the amateur and Pro field, Manzoni declares: “ I am happy to be in this project, because I have the chance to work with Giuliani again and because I have a great consideration of him as motivator and race strategist. This is a young team that wants to grow, without forgetting its origins and the fundamentals of this sport”.
Fundamentals can be compared to the nourishment of the team, above all when there are lots of young talented riders. “In the team, there are young riders with high hopes. We aim at educating them and leading the team, avoiding to put too much pressure on our athletes. We want to give them the chance to learn and to be led by a skilled rider like Cunego and other talented people, who are already known in the cycling world. I am grateful towards Giuliani and all the team management for the trust showed and I can not wait to give a start to this adventure”.
The start is already scheduled for November 20th – 21st. In those days The Blue Mountain Team will plan its “to do list” and the athletes will also have the pleasure to take part in their first meeting.
