Good results for the Ale CX Team from the national race in Casalecchio di Reno in the Bologna area, the third and penultimate round of the Master Cross Emilia Romagna. Two victories and several podium finishes achieved by the Modena-based team at the Bike Park in Casalecchio di Reno: raising their arms to the sky were Nicole Azzetti, a thirty-year-old from Ala born on August 23, 2008, in her first season in the Women Under 23 category, and Bolzano native Pablo Zanolini, born January 1, 2013, in the Beginners 2nd year category.
In the Women Juniors race, the team led by Milena Cavani and Eva Lechner placed three athletes in the top four positions: 2nd Beatrice Maifré, 3rd Sara Peruta, 4th Greta Masini. On the podium, third place, also Nicholas Scalorbi in the Juniors and Leire Storani Ruiz-Navarro in the Women Juniors 2nd year category.
Here are the other placements: Carlotta Lunghi 4th in the Women Juniors 2nd year, Riccardo Nadal 7th in the Juniors, Omar Berlini 7th in the Juniors 2nd year, Franz Engele 10th in the Juniors 2nd year, Gael Storani Ruiz-Navarro 14th among the Beginners 1st year.

Ale CX Team also had two athletes called up to the Italian national team competing at the European Championships in Zeddam in the Netherlands. The multi-titled Valtellina native Gioele Bertolini (1995) in the Elite race finished in 17th place, resulting in the first Italian at the finish line. First Italian national experience for Matilde Carretta, in her first season in the Juniors category, and 41st place at the finish.

Regarding the controversies of these days relating to call-ups (some national team riders would have been forced to pay for the trip themselves), Stefano Belloi, president of the Ale CX Team, intervened. "We distance ourselves from the controversy in question, as federation president Cordiano Dagnoni clarified, the method of call-ups for the Europeans was agreed upon and shared by the teams at the beginning of the year. For us, having the opportunity to wear the Italian jersey is certainly important, and racing for the national team, in addition to giving visibility to our team, also gives visibility to the entire cyclocross movement".
