Fulgur bicycles are both new: the Roccia 2023 and the Mula 880 with Polini E-P3+ engine.

Team Manager – Mauro Trione
"The WeRide Racing Team is making me very proud. In two years, from an amateur team from Ticino it has become an international team with professional riders from Switzerland, France, Italy and Spain. We are now a Factory Team having signed an agreement with Fulgur Cycles, supported by important technical partners such as Polini (e-Bike motor). The level of our riders is incredible. Nicolai, Pugin, Vendemmia, Melandri (legend of MotoGP) and all the others, all competitive guys with something in common: Enduro racing. A dream for us. In the background are the WeRide MTB Association, the WeRide Academy and TWO Distribution, all based in Lugano. The aim is to use the Racing Team as fuel to give visibility to what we do for the sport in our region (www.weridemtb.ch), and to the brands that we represent and distribute in Switzerland and in France (www.twodistribution.ch). It's just the beginning, so I don't know how competitive we will be, but we will certainly have a lot of fun".

Fulgur Cycles – Fulvio Canadelli
"We decided to join this project last year, after Mauro and Johnny shared their plan for WeRide Racing Team and TWO Distribution with me. For us this is an incredible opportunity to have our bikes used and stressed by champions such as Nicolai, Pugin, Vendemmia, Melandri, and to be able to receive sincere feedback on how the bikes work, on what can be improved, modified and therefore be able to apply it to build great bikes."

Florian Nicolai
"The first objective is to have fun in the saddle, enjoy the moments with the team, promote the brands internationally, with particular attention to France. Get some good podiums, some victories and, why not, become world champion in E-EDR. "

Melanie Pugin
"My ambition for this season is to finish regularly in the top 3 in every race of the EDR. And of course sharing and having a lot of fun with all my new team mates!"

Marco Melandri
"I'm very happy to start the new racing season, the winter has been long. I'm sure we will have a lot of fun, the first shake-down was very productive, the positive vibes in the team and the feeling with the new bike was great. Now I want to work every day to improve and get to the next level this year. I am enthusiastic. Racing against the best drivers is my new life".

Alessandro Maghetti
"In the new season I expect to have fun, to ride together with my new teammates, to increase my confidence with the bike. I'm only 18, so for me it's a great opportunity".

[email protected] I am a fan of everything that has 2 wheels: at a young age I practiced road and track cycling (Italian Allievi champion). At the age of 18 I passed into the cross country competing at national/international level as an Under23. Past Elite, I made the choice to take things more lightly from a training point of view, and my love for gravity disciplines was born, training me as an FCI MTB instructor and guide. Now I have made passion my profession by managing 2 MTB centers on the island of Elba (Bike Center Elba and 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').
