A splendid sunny day in Lazise, on the shores of Lake Garda, provided the backdrop for the Autozai Contri photoshoot. Led by patron Nicola Vighini, president Filippo Padovani and team manager Fausto Boreggio, the riders of the Verona-based team posed for photos and videos produced by Team Rodella.
The 2026 roster is composed of Ludovico Affini, Gabriele Bertagnoli, Xavier Bordignon, Tommaso Bottaro, Filippo Casagrande, Lorenzo Ceccarello, Gianmaria Chinello, Alberto Donà, Andrea Furlanis, Filippo Grigolini, Thomas Mariotto, Mathias Paludetti, Marco Pierotto, Edoardo Riccadona, Federico Ros, Manuel Salmaso and Davide Zanei. Guiding the riders is general manager Enrico Mantovanelli, who was absent yesterday, and a top-quality technical staff.
Patron Nicola Vighini's objective is to breathe new life into a story that his father Fausto began writing in the 1970s and which has made the Verona-based team an authentic point of reference at the national level in the junior category.
From Davide Rebellin to Alessio Magagnotti, there are many riders who have grown up in the school of the Autozai Vighini team, which has started the season well and which will line up on Sunday for the 22nd Trofeo Ristorante alla Colombera in Altivole. The competition will take place over a total distance of 101 kilometers, with a selective and comprehensive course. The route features an initial flat phase organized over a circuit to be repeated three times, followed by a straight section that will guide the race towards the decisive second part.
Autozai Contri takes to the start with a numerous and motivated roster made up of Thomas Mariotto, Andrea Furlanis, Edoardo Riccadona, Xavier Bordignon, Davide Zanei, Federico Ros, Lorenzo Ceccarello, Alberto Donà, Gianmaria Chinello, Tommaso Bottaro and Marco Pierotto, fresh from his national team call-up.
