Winning the team classification in the Coppa Italia delle Regioni and second place in the World Ranking of Continental women's teams: these two data points alone would be enough to understand that for BePink - Imatra – Bongioanni, 2025 was a good year. But to better trace the balance of a season that started at the UAE Tour and concluded in October in China, tuttobiciweb collected the evaluations of Team Manager Walter Zini.

"We are satisfied with our season. It was challenging, we raced many important races in Italy, Europe, and even outside the continent," the Lombard manager tells us. Then he adds: "Analyzing 2025 solely based on results, perhaps we could have obtained a few more victories, but what makes us particularly proud is the consistency of performance that the team demonstrated from February until the second place in the team time trial national championship. It was an excellent year."

Since its foundation, the BePink team has decided to focus on young athletes and help them express and emerge, Zini emphasizes: "As always, our approach is a 'green line', it was in 2025 (average age 21 years) and it will be in the next season as well."

It's still too early to know the roster of athletes for 2026, but Walter anticipates that it will be composed of several Under23 riders. The team's main objectives are already clear: "Allow our riders to grow, gain experience and mature, but also be protagonists and translate commitment into results."

Among the various commitments of BePink - Imatra – Bongioanni's managers in these weeks is also defining the calendar and various competitive engagements for the new season: "We are working on it. Compared to past seasons, the UCI regulations on race participation have changed, but we are still receiving several invitations from organizers, which makes us very happy."

Finally, with Christmas now at the door, we ask Walter what he wishes for his team. The answer comes without hesitation: "That the BePink project continues to grow and then tries to take a step forward. That's the ambition."
