The VF Group Bardiani-CSF Faizanè announces the lineup for the first race of the season, the Clàssica Comunitat Valenciana, scheduled for Sunday, January 26th. The race will start from Valencia, with the finish line in La Nucia after 184 km. The route includes several challenging climbs, including Alto de Barx, Coll de Rates, and Alto de Turrón Duro, with the last climb located just 8 km from the finish.

Roberto Reverberi, team manager, stated: "We want to start the season on the right foot, after weeks of intense training camps and preparation. It will be crucial to tackle the final climb in the best possible way. We have brought many young riders, and for them, this will be an important opportunity to showcase themselves right from the start".

Here are the seven athletes chosen for this first season test: Matteo Scalco, Alessio Martinelli, Luca Paletti, Alessandro Pinarello, Vicente Rojas, Alex Tolio, and the Varese-born 2005 rider Filippo Turconi. The team will be led from the team car by sports directors Luca Amoriello and Mirko Rossato.
