Mirko Tabacchi leaves the KTM Protek Elettrosystem Team to throw himself headlong into an ambitious project: to always be a top athlete and, at the same time, to develop RDR products.

RDR Italia is an Italian brand, led by Vincenzo Jeantet, a highly experienced Aosta Valley who would like to maintain the tradition of Made in Italy. For over 10 years he has been producing homemade bikes with the additional advice of his son Nicolas Jeantet, mechanic of the Swiss national team and Italian XC champion in the youth categories.

Mirko Tabacchi will therefore also be test driver and developer for RDR Italia, with the addition of other collaborations: Damil Components and Codeluppi's titanium wheel pins.

famac@famac.ind.br I am passionate about everything that has 2 wheels: in my youth I practiced competitive cycling on the road and on the track with good results. At the age of 18 I moved to cross country competing at national/international level as U23. Once I passed Elite, I made the choice to take things easier from the training point of view, and that's how my love for gravity disciplines was born, training as an FCI MTB instructor and guide. Now I have made my passion my profession by managing 3 MTB centers on the island of Elba (Elba MTB), creating the FANTAmtb and telling in an ironic but professional way, everything that revolves around MTB thanks to 365mountainbike and 365TV (YouTube 'PULITI dentro BIKER fuori').
