The usual pre-Christmas gathering has kicked off the countdown to 2026 for the Uc Trevigiani Enegiapura Marchiol: the historic team from Porta San Tomaso is ready to look ahead with many new features and great ambitions for the upcoming season.

The second consecutive year with a UCI Continental license for President Ettore Renato Barzi's team will see a roster renewed for ten-twelfths: Tommaso Cafueri and Riccardo Fabbro have been confirmed, while Samuele Cervi, Lorenzo Dalle Crode, Martin Gris, Melsan Idrizi and Gabriele Peluso will make their debut among the Under-23s wearing the white-blue jersey.

Of particular note are the additions of two fast wheels like Francesco Vecchiutti and Matteo De Monte, to which a trio of more complete athletes can be added: Matteo Cettolin, Lorenzo Mottes and Marco Zanotto.

Guiding this young group of all Under-23 athletes will once again be the experience of Rino De Candido, alongside whom will be Mirco Lorenzetto and Mauro Busato. The technical staff will be completed by Leonardo Sari, Gabriele Donadi, Esterino Scomparin and Mirco Presti.

In recent days, the athletes have also been able to get on the new Bottecchia bicycles with which, also in 2026, they will chase the most prestigious objectives in the national and international calendar.

"We are presenting ourselves at the start of the new season with a renewed and very young lineup, with an average age among the lowest in the entire UCI Europe Tour. We have confirmed Cafueri and Fabbro, who have already shown they can be competitive in this category, we have added five athletes with good experience and five newcomers from the junior category," explained DS Rino De Candido. "In these first weeks of collective work, I have seen a cohesive group full of enthusiasm. We have prepared the foundations to face the new season in the best way and tested the new materials provided by the team. The objectives are not lacking and the premises for experiencing another season full of emotions are all there, we just need to pedal."

The pre-Christmas meeting with management, staff, and athletes was an opportunity to exchange holiday greetings and set a date for the upcoming days when training will intensify.
