For the second consecutive year Husqvarna e Downhill Italia renew their partnership on the occasion of the Coppa Italia and Italian Championship competitions Downhill, off-road cycling sport which consists of running a single race totally downhill.
The conditions of the track are essential to be able to compete: the chosen locations must include steep descents, natural obstacles and sudden drops in height, therefore they require careful maintenance and trained staff, who carry out all the activities in safety.
Husqvarna, the world's largest manufacturer of equipment for the care of forests, parks and gardens both privately and professionally, is the official supplier of all petrol-driven equipment such as chainsaws, brushcutters and blowers – to which this year also all Personal Protective Equipment – to shape and improve the areas that will be affected by the passage of competitors.
“A supply of suitable equipment, from our petrol-driven machines to 'Safety' products, – declares Nicolò Barbato, Corporate Sponsorship Manager of Fercad Spa, which is the distributor in Italy
exclusive of the Swedish brand – it is certainly the best way to guarantee the safety of the operators involved in the various competitions of Downhill. We are proud to be able to support, once again, the name of Husqvarna with a sport that involves athletes of different ages, from all over Italy and beyond, but also many families and communities of enthusiasts".
“The Woods and the Green and the care of the paths – adds Riccardo Tagliabue di Downhill Italy – these are elements we have in common with Husqvarna. We are very proud, after the agreement signed in 2022, that once again this year a company like Husqvarna has agreed to be by our side for all the Coppa Italia and Championship competitions Downhill. The hope is to experience an exciting season, full of twists and turns, in full respect of the mountain communities and of all the places where the competitions take place and of the love for this sport".
