Stage victory and overall final circuit classification. These are the excellent results for the Ale Colnago Team competing in Borgo Barattin of Faé di Oderzo at the 23rd International Ponte Cyclocross, the fourth and final stage of the Master Cross Selle Smp. The stage victory comes in the Women Junior category and is signed by Trentino rider Nicole Azzetti, who in a very uncertain head-to-head won over Azzurra Rizzi. The Modena team rider, bronze medalist at the European Championships in Belgium in November, narrowly missed the podium in the final classification: 4th place despite participating in only two of the four scheduled events.

Gioele Bertolini (Elite) also made the podium, finishing second behind Filippo Fontana. The Italian champion from Ale Colnago Team triumphed in the final circuit classification, having raced in three of the four scheduled events. The same podium placement in Faé di Oderzo was achieved by Rebecca Gariboldi (Women Elite), limited by back problems, who finished third and was second in the final circuit classification (with participation in three of the four races), just 10 points behind winner Beatrice Fontana who scored points in all events.

Milena Cavani, sports director of Ale Colnago Team with Eva Lechner, focused on the races in the Treviso area. "We had some mechanical issues with Nicolas, among the Juniors Greta and Omar made some technical errors in the first laps, but they are very young and will have plenty of time to make up for it. Nicole's performance was very good despite a few too many slides... Rebecca suffered from back pain but she did well too. Gioele secured a nice second place that allowed him to win the final circuit classification. Finally, Giulio had a good placement in the juniors. We move forward satisfied and confident!"
