Two more riders from the team's development program are making the leap from the "Rookies" to the WorldTeam Red Bull – BORA – hansgrohe for the new season. The Italians Davide Donati and Alessio Magagnotti are turning professional, bringing to the WorldTeam considerable sprint speed and a natural talent for the spring Classics.

At 21 years old, Davide has spent the last two seasons with the Rookies, proving in both years that he can compete on equal terms with the strongest sprinters, despite his young age. He proves particularly effective in finishes that follow undulating terrain or feature a climb towards the finish line. In 2025, this quality allowed him to secure a stage at the Tour de Wallonie (ProSeries category). This season, he achieved another success at the same level at the CRO Race, along with other notable placings.

In the Under 23 category, Davide has also distinguished himself as a Classics specialist, winning, among others, the Paris-Roubaix Espoirs. He also made his mark at the Giro Next Gen: by winning a stage on challenging terrain, he wore the pink leader's jersey, then played a key supporting role for Lorenzo Finn.

«I have always believed in myself and in the possibility of achieving results through hard work and dedication. That's why I'm thrilled to have taken this step; reaching an objective I've worked towards for so long means a lot to me. I have great ambitions, but in the coming years my main goal will be to continue growing so I can achieve them» explains Davide Donati

Alessio joins the WorldTeam after just one year. Arriving among the Rookies on the back of successes achieved as a junior, the nineteen-year-old from Trentino has impressed in the Under 23 category as well, securing several victories. His first appearance with the WorldTeam at the start of the season also made an impact: at the Trofeo Palma in Majorca, he secured third place on his very debut. He has demonstrated his enormous potential in sprints and his ability to compete, in terms of pure speed, with some of cycling's biggest names; in particular, during the Deutschland Tour, he outsprinted Paul Magnier in a head-to-head sprint, thus securing his first professional victory.

«The move to the WorldTeam represents for me a great opportunity. At the same time, this step up in category makes me feel the full support of the team. I hope to be able to demonstrate my qualities and gain as much experience as possible» emphasizes Alessio Magagnotti
