The MBH Bank Ballan CSB Colpack team approaches the end of the season with ambition. A 2025 already rich with satisfaction, with 17 victories signed by 11 different riders, but also looking to the future with great planning.
In the immediate future, eyes are focused on prestigious appointments: next weekend's GP Carnago and Freccia dei Vini, while other athletes await official selection for Track World Championships.
In parallel, as tradition dictates, team manager Antonio Bevilacqua is already working to build 2026, the year that will mark the Italian-Hungarian formation's debut among Professional teams.
Many names have been associated with the squad in recent weeks, but Bevilacqua himself wants to clarify with some official previews:
"We are working with a multi-year perspective - explains the manager - and I'm satisfied to see that many of our former riders have returned, a sign that they found a healthy environment here where they grew. I can confirm that Fausto Masnada and Davide Persico will race with us from 2026: with both, a special bond has been created and now they want to continue their career with us. They will bring experience and solidity to a young and ambitious group.
Also in the youth perspective, Alessandro Fancellu will be part of the 2026 roster, who has had a very positive season. The project is growing on solid technical and structural foundations, and we will provide further details later".
