The Italian gravel world is enriched by a new reality ready to make its mark: the Fas Airport Services Guerciotti Gravel Team is officially born, a project that combines passion, expertise and strategic vision to tackle a constantly growing discipline as a leading force.

The team presents itself with a high-level roster, composed of three athletes with proven experience and talent: Matteo Zurlo, Matteo Baseggio and Federico Ceolin. Three names already well-known in the national cycling landscape, ready to put their qualities at the service of interpreting the challenges of gravel at their best, between technical competitions, long distances and mixed terrain.

The Fas Airport Services Guerciotti Gravel Team is born with the objective of standing out both on the competitive level and in promoting the gravel movement, embodying the values of endurance, exploration and freedom that characterize this discipline.

The synergy between Fas Airport Services and Guerciotti represents a key element of the project: a partnership that has achieved great results in cyclocross and now decides to move into less conventional but always part of their DNA terrain, with the aim of developing an ambitious initiative projected towards the future.

The contribution of leading technical sponsors is decisive, reference realities in their respective sectors that will accompany the team throughout the entire season. Geko will provide technical clothing, with garments designed to guarantee comfort, breathability and performance even in the most demanding conditions. Selle SMP will put its ergonomic expertise at the team's disposal, offering solutions studied for maximum comfort even on the long distances typical of gravel. Vittoria, the world leader in tire and tubular production, will ensure grip, resistance and reliability on every type of terrain. Ursus will complete the wheel department with products designed to guarantee smoothness, solidity and performance on the most demanding routes. Northwave will support the athletes with high-performance footwear, synonymous with innovation and quality in cycling.

“A new chapter opens for our cyclocross team – emphasizes Alessandro Guerciotti, CEO of Guerciotti srl – “Precisely to confirm the attention we pay to the evolution of modern cycling, we have entered this discipline with a twofold purpose. First, the team will represent an important tool to increase the visibility of the Guerciotti brand, with the additional objective of creating a community not only at the competitive level, but also at the amateur level. Secondly, given the constant growth of the gravel movement, this new team could represent an additional channel to identify new talents to bring into the cyclocross team.”

“For our company, gravel has never been a passing trend” – comments Micaela Guerciotti, Sales & Marketing Director of the Milan-based brand – “It is the natural evolution of a vocation born in cyclocross, which thanks to the experience gained in extreme conditions, between mud, sand and violent accelerations, has been able to interpret with foresight and precision the needs of the gravel world. This is why today we are enthusiastic about launching this new adventure, as gravel represents one of the most authentic expressions of cycling, which is acquiring an increasingly important role within our product range”.

The calendar will see the team competing in the main gravel competitions starting on Saturday, March 28 with the Hills Gravel Race in Susegana (TV), with the objective of achieving significant results from the start and contributing to the growth and visibility of the discipline.

With the Fas Airport Services Guerciotti Gravel Team, a new challenge thus takes shape, marked by passion for cycling and the desire to explore new horizons, kilometer after kilometer.
