One of the most experienced technicians in Italian women's cycling and a reality that has been operating in the youth sector for years, committed to building the future of girls who choose cycling: Giuseppe Lanzoni will be the new Technical Director of Horizons Cycling Club.

Lanzoni has behind him a very long career alongside professionals, and his figure represents a resource of the highest technical and human value, ideal for transmitting experience, passion and winning mentality to all the athletes and staff.

"We are delighted to welcome Giuseppe," comments Marino Ongarato. "Beyond being a great friend, Giuseppe is an extraordinary professional. His presence and his skills will give a strong boost to our project, transferring enthusiasm and balance to the entire group in view of the upcoming seasons."

With women's cycling in constant evolution and increasingly competitive rhythms, Lanzoni's figure will be central in directing the athletic, tactical and psychological growth of the girls, with his gaze already projected towards the international challenges of 2027. To discover his vision and delve into this new chapter, we asked him a few questions.
