The formation of the Team Hopplà 2025 has been defined, after various rumors of withdrawal. Sandro Pelatti, owner of Petroli Firenze, is taking a sabbatical year (we all hope this is just a see you later). Claudio Lastrucci, however, is not giving up, a historic Tuscan cycling manager, passionate and in love with cycling, also present in the professional world with the Professional Solution Tech-Vini Fantini team, who has set up, with the support of Team Manager Leonardo Gigli, the collaboration of Clemente Cavaliere, another well-known figure in cycling, and the support of some sponsors including Car Center by Alessio and Matteo Nunziata, a team of 11 riders.

Among these is the 2024 English Junior National Champion Oliver Dawson, recommended to the Team Hopplà managers and coaches by Dario David Cioni, born in England but living in the Montelupo Fiorentino area, and one of the sports directors of the Ineos Grenadiers squad. Four athletes were already present in the Hopplà Petroli Firenze Don Camillo last year. These are Regnanti (two victories in Corniola di Empoli and Castiglion Fibocchi), Lorello (first in Penna in the province of Arezzo), Manenti (winner in Montanino di Reggello) and Salomone. An important arrival from Beltrami TSA is Edoardo Burani, who certainly has room for improvement given his talents. There are also Andrea Alfio Bruno, winner of a race in the province of Catania in 2024, the nineteen-year-old Pistoiese Petri among the best juniors in the past season with 3 successes, excellent also in time trials, Panconi, Gialli and Spinelli. A total of 11 riders who will be guided by sports director Stefano Roncalli.

A team revolutionized in its roster compared to initial rumors, but of excellent caliber, on which Lastrucci, Roncalli, Gigli, Cavaliere and their friends (read: sponsors) and collaborators are confident for a 2025 season as good protagonists.

THE TEAM: Lorello, Manenti, Regnanti, Salomone, Burani, Bruno, Spinelli, Panconi, Petri, Gialli and Dawson.
