The presence of the XCO National Team in Alassio is a combination that repeats itself, thanks to the mild climate and the possibility of training on any terrain, along the sea on the panoramic road but above all for the infinite number of technical off-road routes in the hinterland, for which Liguria is famous. It is no coincidence that in all seasons many bikers and teams come to these areas to test products and bicycles. The goal will therefore be to refine the technique and to create the right harmony with all the staff.
Our kids will be able to appreciate all this, planning their work in view of the first events that await them in a few weeks, passing through the first world cup tests in April in Brazil, then with the European championships in May in Romania, and then culminating with the Olympic trials in Paris at the end of July, where the national team will participate with the full contingent, 2 males and 2 females, thanks to the points acquired from the performances of the last two seasons.
The roster of young people present in this first retreat at the beginning of the season are among the women, Chiara Teocchi and Giada Specia and among the men, Simone Avondetto, Luca Braidot and Jury Zanotti, assisted not only by the coach Mirko Celestino, by the new technical collaborator, Nadia De Negri, by the technician Nicola Casadei, by the therapists Grinza and Musella and by the mechanic Conte.
In addition to focusing their athletic commitment on Ligurian roads and dirt roads, the boys will also be called upon to undertake institutional commitments, such as signing a tile in the famous wall of Alassio, which establishes the collaboration between our national team and the municipality of Alassio, always available to host our champions.
