FIRST RETREAT FOR TREVIGIANI
Uc Trevigiani Energiapura Marchiol flew to Sicily, precisely to Etna, for the official retreat in preparation for the 2025 season.
For the guys, this is the first real opportunity to test Aerospace on suitable routes. On this occasion, the athletes can finally push to the max and test the riding feeling with their new road bike. Perfect for solo breakaways and sprints to the finish line, this extraordinary bike is fast and responsive even uphill, thanks to the particular shape of the frame and the wise choice of high-level components, which allows you to gain every possible advantage in terms of speed and handling.
“The retreat will end on February 5th - says general manager Luciano Marton - we are a very strong team . We are not afraid of anyone and we will show what we are worth in competitions. The transfer campaign was done carefully: it is a team that has the characteristics to emerge on any terrain and specialty. Even in cyclocross. And we also have a young sprinter from Treviso who could do well for "our" Popolarissima. There are also athletes who are experts in stage races and who could aim for the Giro Next Gen and the Italian championship and classic riders. In short, we can't wait for the season to begin".
"We are thrilled to be able to support a team that shares our values of passion, determination and commitment. We look forward to seeing our athletes in action in 2025 and sharing successes and goals together," said Diego Turato, General Manager of Bottecchia .
After the retreat in a location on Etna, there will be two more rallies before the start of the races.
Filippo Rocchetti - the sports director "magister" (he will also be joined by the Treviso natives Mauro Busato and Mirco Lorenzetto) explains the season's programs. "We start with the first gathering on Etna - says Filippo Rocchetti who turned 29 in retreat - then it will be the turn of the races: on February 22nd at the Coppa San Geo and Firenze Empoli and on the 23rd in Fucecchio (in 2024 first Federico Guzzo, second Matteo Zurlo, sixth Ignazio Cireddu and eighth Marco Di Bernardo, ed.)".
This year, Uc Trevigiani Energiapura Marchiol has made a qualitative leap: it has entered the world of Continental Teams . “This is why we will also race with professionals - Rocchetti states - from 25 to 29 March we will be at the Coppi & Bartali that starts in Ferrara (last year Koen Bouwman of Visma won, ed.). Then there will be the Giro di Abruzzo from 15 to 18 April and all the international races in Veneto: Popolarissima (16 March), Trofeo Piva (6 April), San Vendemiano (13 April), Giro del Belvedere (21 April) and Palio del Recioto (22 April). Then we go abroad with the trip to Poland for the Giro del Maloposka in June to best prepare for the Giro Next Gen (15-22 June). “The Giro is a race we are aiming for - says Filippo Rocchetti - there is the Italian Championship (June 26) which in 2024 saw us winners with Edoardo Zamperini, Giro del Friuli (September 4-7), Giro del Veneto (September 10-14)”.
“After the season with the tricolor and the blue jersey for the Giro della Valle D'Aosta by Edoardo Zamperini and the conquest of the blue jerseys by Matteo Zurlo for the gravel world and European championships, this preparation represents only the first step of a journey that will lead us to experience a season of great challenges and successes - say in chorus the managers and sponsors of the historic company that has its headquarters in Porta San Tomaso, in Treviso - stay with us to closely follow the progress and evolution of a team ready to write another memorable year”. You have to believe it.
