Agreement between MDE and FRM FACTORY RACING TEAM with an all "made in Italy" Team: Alex Lupato and Andrea Pirazzoli will be the official riders and will race with the very Italian MDE chassis prepared with FRM components and Marzocchi suspensions.

For the next racing season the Frm Racing Factory Enduro team will use Mde bicycles. Alex Lupato and Andrea Pirazzoli, in fact, have recently signed a collaboration with the Piedmontese company that will supply them with the “Carve” and “Damper” frames, both made to measure, both with a 27,5 ″ wheel standard.

The contract provides for collaboration with MDE for the whole of 2015 with pre-emption also for 2016. As for the components, of course, the two athletes will use Frm elements (wheels, crankset and crowns, handlebars, stem, clamp and seat post), while Marzocchi will supply forks, shock absorbers and telescopic seat post, Maxxis tires. Accessories and clothing will also be Italian, with Limar for the helmet and UFO for the protections.

In addition to the two athletes, the team's organization chart is made up of mechanics Simone Fabbri and Fulvio Lupato (who is Alex's father), the athletic trainer Marco Tagliaferri, the sporting director Ricci Luciano and, of course, the president / team manager Cristian Trippa.

Alex will participate in the whole EWS and in the main races in Italy, "Fagiano" (Andrea Pirazzoli) instead will participate in the European EWS and in the races in Italy.
