The Argentine rider had a spectacular start to the season in the U23 category in Spain and has continued to rack up results in stage races, earning a call from the Fundación Alberto Contador ProTeam.

Coming from the Technosylva Maglia Rower Bembibre team, with which the Polti VisitMalta U19 team collaborates to promote talent, Crozzolo is a cyclist who has earned four podium finishes in the Copa de España, a stage victory on the queen stage of the Vuelta a Castilla y León, and the Vuelta a Ávila. His speed and his excellent condition on short, explosive climbs have drawn interest in a rider who promises a bright future.

A 20-year-old cyclist (born in 2005) who joins the previously announced signs of Adrián Benito and Dario Giuliano, riders with whom he has shared the peloton in Spain and will continue to do so from now on in the ranks of Polti VisitMalta.

Fabrizio Crozzolo: “After many years of effort, a lot of sacrifice… it’s a dream come true. A huge step, which was always my goal, to dedicate myself to cycling. I’m looking forward to this great opportunity with great enthusiasm, eager to contribute to the team. Thanks to Polti VisitMalta, my family, and those who support me along the way, now it’s time to keep growing.”

Fran Contador, General Manager of Polti VisitMalta: “Fabrizio has been one of the surprises of the season, a very interesting rider, with a lot of talent, who if he continues his progression will be a great rider. We want him to continue growing within our team, and that’s why we have faith in him to wear Polti VisitMalta kit next season.”
