The team from Settimello di Calenzano presents itself this year with a roster of 10 riders, of which four have been confirmed by president Piero Pieri, while six are new faces in the organization that with 2025 is in its twenty-first year of activity.

The team with new "Bianchi" bikes and clothing provided by Alè, one of the most prestigious brands in cycling, has conducted substantial preparation under the guidance of sports directors Federico Fioravanti and Samuele Breschi, assisted by Francesco Dani.
