A serious loss has struck the family of Gianluca Valoti, sports director of Team MBH Bank Ballan CSB Colpack: this afternoon, his father Pietro passed away.

Born in June 1931, Pietro Valoti was a reference figure in the Bergamo cycling scene, founder - together with brothers Enrico and Sandro - of the Interni Valoti Nembro team, now known as Ciclo Team Nembro. An entire life dedicated to the passion for cycling, which he continued to cultivate with interest even in recent months, despite health difficulties.

In addition to Gianluca, he leaves daughters Francesca, Mariella, and Cristina in mourning. To all of them, our editorial team sends their heartfelt condolences.
