The Blue Mountain Team grows under the sign of “continuity”: The reconfirmed rider, italians and foreigners, are on the Pro project.
“Never change a winning team” : this is the reason why NIPPO – Vini Fantini – De Rosa has decided to confirm a board of five athletes in the Pro category, after a year in the Continental one where the team had the chance to grow professionally and take a step further. Let’s have a look at the reconfirmed riders, focusing on each single athlete who will be among Pro 2015.
EDUARD GROSU, PIERPAOLO DE NEGRI, ALESSANDRO MALAGUTI – The three winning athletes, reconfirmed in the 2015 season. The first one is a real talent on the way: born in 1992, joined the professional cycling world in 2014 and he was soon able to win (2 victories with the Vini Fantini NIPPO De Rosa jersey). He comes from the Cross and Mountain Bike world. A modern rider: he loves all the aspects of the bike and he is a fast rider. De Negri was born in 1986, four victories as Pro since 2010. He has already taken part in Giro d’Italia and he is an experienced rider, who will have an important role along the next season, thanks to his great perseverance. The same important role will belong to Alessandro Malaguti, another outstanding rider of the team, he is one year younger than De Negri and he has already won three times among Pro. Malaguti will keep on growing professionally, improving his “finisseur” qualities.
ANTONIO VIOLA E RICCARDO STACCHIOTTI – Both young and italian, they grew in the team since Under 23. They have already worn Vini Fantini jersey among amateur and the team kept on strengthening these athletes. Antonio born in 1990, Riccardo born in 1991: two young riders supported by Giuliani, who will mix the mood of the team considered a fundamental strategy for the whole group.
Five confirmed athletes, five riders well managed by Giuliani: “ The great job of the past year is not useless. This is the first important data: the relationship based on trust and build with everyone of the athletes will allow to rise the group and keep on growing. The cycling world will be stronger only if teams stay united. We know how to be united, taking our athletes to make the best of their talent. I am happy with the riders being reconfirmed. The next year will represent an important proof for everyone of us".
Soon will be announced the names of the japanese athletes, who complete the Team NIPPO – Vini Fantini – De Rosa 2015.
