The VF Group Bardiani-CSF Faizanè has announced its roster for 2025, featuring 23 riders, 20 of whom are Italian. The team stands out as the youngest professional team in the world, with an average age of 21.9 years, thanks in part to the presence of 12 Under-23 athletes. This remarkable statistic is made possible by the inclusion of six juniors in the youth development project: Colombians Martin Herreno and Edward Cruz, as well as Italians Filippo Cettolin, Mattia Stenico, Andrea Montagner, and Santiago Ferraro.  Luca Covili, Luca Colnaghi, and Filippo Magli have also been confirmed for the upcoming seasons, completing the team’s lineup for next year
Team manager Roberto Reverberi commented: “It is a source of pride to be the youngest professional team in the world. We firmly believe in the idea that very young riders should be developed within the team to eventually compete at the highest levels. Our sponsors have always shared this philosophy, and we thank them for their trust in our vision and in Italian cycling. We hope that among these young riders, we’ll find another Pellizzari, and for many who have been part of the project for some years, next season will be crucial.
The sporting directors have also been confirmed: Alessandro Donati, Luca Amoriello, and Mirko Rossato will lead the team, with Rossato also overseeing the youth project and the Under-23 squad. The riders will continue to compete on De Rosa bikes, specifically the flagship model, the "Settanta," equipped with Campagnolo components
