Tomorrow MBH Bank CSB Telecom Fort will experience a special day facing Il Lombardia for the first time, a race that starts precisely from Bergamo, the historic home city of the team.
In the meantime, the management of the Italian-Hungarian formation is working to strengthen the squad which, let us remind you, made its Professional category debut this year. And the first two signings are... in the pipeline.
As anticipated on social media by colleague Ciro Scognamiglio from La Gazzetta dello Sport, indeed, Lorenzo Rota and Samuele Battistella are set to wear the MBH jersey starting from the next season.
Rota, a thirty-one-year-old from Bergamo, is about to conclude his adventure with Lotto-Intermarchè: after fine seasons and good results with the Intermarchè-Wanty jersey, Lorenzo has experienced years of few satisfactions and the air of home could help restore his enthusiasm.
Battistella, on the other hand, is 27 years old, was Under 23 world champion (he finished second behind Nils Eekhoff, who was later disqualified for prolonged drafting), and has raced as a professional with the jerseys of Astana, NTT and EF Education-EasyPost. For him too, unfortunately, few results and a strong desire for redemption.
