Horizons Cycling Club is pleased to announce the appointment of Paolo Dalla Costa to the team's technical staff in the role of Sports Director. A figure who brings with him over a decade of experience gained within the women's cycling movement and a vision of cycling founded on athlete development, listening, and talent valorization.

For twelve years, Dalla Costa has lived women's cycling from a privileged perspective, building authentic relationships with numerous athletes over time. A journey that began through photography and sports reporting, continued by sharing training sessions and kilometers with the riders, and subsequently transformed into an increasingly structured technical commitment. In recent years, he has undertaken a federative path that has led him to hold positions of responsibility in all major youth categories: from Giovanissimi to Esordienti, from Allieve to Juniores, up to his arrival in the Elite landscape with Horizons Cycling Club. Parallel to his field activities, Dalla Costa has invested in his own training by deepening aspects of mental preparation through the study of mental coaching and continuous dialogue with high-level athletes and professionals.

“I have been following and living women's cycling for about twelve years, a world that has welcomed me and that I consider an important part of my life,” explains Paolo Dalla Costa. “I strongly believe in the practice of listening, in trusting athletes, and in accompanying them on a path of constant growth. My objective is to walk together with this group in respect of roles and people. In Horizons Cycling Club I found a close-knit team, built on solid foundations and composed of competent and well-organized figures. I am ready to roll up my sleeves to contribute and become an integral part of this project. One thing is certain: if we don't manage to win, we will certainly put on a show.”

The arrival of Paolo Dalla Costa represents a further step in the growth path undertaken by Horizons Cycling Club, which continues to invest in the development of a qualified technical structure capable of accompanying its athletes towards new sporting and personal achievements.

Concurrently, Horizons Cycling Club wishes to express heartfelt thanks to Renato Riccato for the work carried out with professionalism, passion, and dedication in the role of Sports Director. The contribution offered over these years has represented an important piece in the team's and its athletes' growth journey. Renato has the gratitude of the entire club, along with best wishes for the professional and personal challenges that await him in the near future.
