A brief two-day weekend retreat for the Franco Ballerini-Cesaro Team to reconnect, plan work, and start discussing the program for the 2025 cycling season. The meeting took place in San Baronto at the guest house to take measurements for clothing and bicycles and participate in a lesson with nutritionist biologist Lorenzo Bellini. On Sunday, they also had their first collective bike ride. A cycling outing marked by laughter, fun, and a first taste of the team spirit that will be the cornerstone of the upcoming season.
"I can only be happy with how this brief retreat went," declares Luca Scinto. "In these two days, we focused especially on introducing the new guys and fostering interaction among them. I believe an excellent group has formed, with a great sense of team spirit, which will certainly be an added value for the next season." Franco Miniati, president of the team, is also satisfied. "I had the opportunity to observe the guys over these two days, and an excellent group has already formed. We have valuable athletes capable of making an important contribution to the team, both the newcomers in the junior category and the second-year riders."
