After the good Hammer Series result, again 5 World Tour teams are behind NIPPO Vini Fantini in the team ranking as many other Professional teams.

These the results until today also if the “middle season balance” have to wait some very important races. First of all the National Championships (Italy, Japan, Romania) in which the team have great ambitions. The reward received yesterday in Slovenia, as best team among the 19 teams in the race, is a good certification of the sportive growth of the team in this third season in the Professional category.
Satisfactions and future ambitions coming from the NIPPO Vini Fantini Sports Director Mario Manzoni declaration: “At this Tour of Slovenia I’ve seen again a growth of the team supporting his leaders and working together for the team goals. Due to the good general ranking placements of our riders we have been rewarded as the Best Team of the race in the Tour of Slovenia and this give us at the same time confidence in our abilities and new motivations for next races. Most important of the result what I have seen is a strong group working together and with ambitions, that have understood how much in cycling is important work together to reach important results compared to our “dimension”. For us this is a starting point in a very important moment looking forward to National Championship, where working again as a team we can be ambitious.”
