Technical commissioners Diego Bragato, Ivan Quaranta, Edoardo Salvoldi and Marco Villa have announced the call-ups for the Junior Track World Championships to be held in Heusden-Zolder, Belgium from August 19 to 23. The Italian contingent consists of 24 athletes, 12 women and 12 men, and arrives at the event with some protagonists from last year.

Among the call-ups are Agata Campana, who was part of the winning team in the Team Sprint, Elisa Bianchi, Alessia Orsi and Matilde Rossignoli, vice world champions in the Team Pursuit, and Jacopo Vendramin, who stood out in 2025 with three medals: silver in the Elimination and bronze in both the Omnium and Scratch.

Italy builds on the triumphant record from last year's edition, which closed in first place in the medal standings with 13 podiums: six golds, three silvers and four bronzes.
