Team Overall: an English-style denomination for a team that proudly claims its connection to its chosen territory for the 39th year. In cycling terms, there's fertile ground made of memory to preserve and a future projection guaranteed by events like the upcoming Giro d'Italia stage. And by the competitive season of the yellow-blue riders.

Otherwise, one wouldn't organize, as happened on January 2nd, a highly participated presentation of athletes at the Museum of Champions, on a symbolic date like the anniversary of Fausto Coppi's death. In the sparse (no offense intended) Piedmontese amateur panorama, the team that was born (in 1998) in the wake of the amateur Sc Spinettese Girardengo exercises a role of continuity and shuns improper gigantism. Among its presidents was also Ettore Milano, an unforgettable and faithful gregario of Coppi, recalled together with other "Angels" grown in the Siof nursery.

At Overall, as nearly forty years of activity teach, results and satisfactions have repaid the commitment of those who keep the association present in the antechamber of professional cycling, hosting regional athletes from various backgrounds, without neglecting other contributions (Lombard, Ligurian, Emilian, Aosta Valley) favored by the geographically central location of the Alessandria area.

A pedal "hub" ideally and not only based in Novi and Pasturana, a small municipality of which team manager Massimo Subbrero is mayor (in the tricolor sash, he has also started three editions of the Giro dell'Appennino). The Imperia - Novi Ligure, twelfth stage of the upcoming Giro d'Italia, will further emphasize the cycling history heritage of this portion of Piedmont that aims to create a system in the enhancement of two-wheel sport (including cycle tourism).

"We have carved out a recognizability in the cycling landscape of our category and launched about ten riders to professionalism. There have been significant achievements in recent years, such as those of Luca Cavallo, a precedent that comforts and spurs us, well knowing that a team like Overall tends to develop riders ready to take flight towards top-tier associations. Our activity continues based on the "talent search" taught to me by a master like the late Gianni Savio. In today's cycling, things move quickly and one must adapt. For us, this means paying attention beyond inaccessible first-tier riders (now in the orbit of the Devo, ed.), going to identify interesting profiles among those who have already shown interesting things among juniors like Geremia Badone, sixth at Lombardy, as well as hosting riders seeking a relaunch, such as Matteo Gabelloni. The discriminating factor remains the technical and competitive potential to intercept, why not, even in a former skier like the Aosta Valley's Arlian, a cross-country skier who only practiced cycling at an amateur level to stay in training".

This is Subbrero's perspective, who with his staff (including his daughter Linda among the sports directors) is already monitoring every participation opportunity offered by the 2026 calendar. "At the Novi vernissage on January 2nd, in the presence of Fausto Coppi's children, Marina and Faustino, Overall's captain Daniel Gianello was also present, whose proximity to the team is a surge of friendship and reciprocity. The boy from Cumiana, in the Turin area, has recently returned home and is tangible proof of the progress made after the very serious training accident that involved him in 2024. There were days of great apprehension, of long hospital stays, then a fruitful rehabilitation path began, at a specialized clinic in Emilia. And among other things, at the museum of Champions appointment, Gianello met again with Cofidis sports director Roberto Damiani, from whom a month ago he had received the team's jersey as a much-appreciated gift. Overall inspired by a motto: "Daniel is one of us".
