When the team sat down with Gobik to talk about the new uniform, everyone agreed: after 4 years, the time had come to abandon black and leave room for the imagination of the Spanish designers to create a uniform that would stand out from the crowd.
The new jersey, characterized by shades of purple and blue, is a centrifuge of action, a vortex of energy that intends to represent the young and dynamic spirit of the Wilier Triestina Pirelli Factory Team, which also in 2023 will focus on young people to build a strong team not only in the season that is opening, but also, and above all, in future ones, with the aim of arriving with more than one athlete at the Olympic appointment in Paris 2024.

If the Marathon sector, which this year will also be involved in the new XCM World Cup, has remained unchanged with the reigning European champion Fabian Rabensteiner, the reigning Austrian champion Daniel Geismayr, Wout Alleman e Samuel Porro, big news instead comes from the Olympic Cross Country sector which, alongside the Under23 world champions Simone Avondetto and the Italian Under23 champion Giada Specia, will see the arrival of 4 new athletes.
From England Cameron Orr, the reigning British XCO National Champion, who had already joined the Wilier Triestina Pirelli Factory Team at the 2022 Cape Epic.
They come from Denmark Sofie e Gustav Pedersen two crystalline talents who already stood out last year. Sofie is in her last year among the Under23s and there are already numerous World Cup podiums under her feet. Gustav will instead be in his first year among the Under23s, but in the Junior category he has shown several times that he has something extra, so much so as to conquer the European champion's jersey.
Instead, it comes from Holland Morris Gruiters, another very young athlete who wore the national champion's shirt among the juniors, and who in 2023 will pass among the Under23s with a great desire to do well.
The objectives of the Wilier Triestina Pirelli Factory Team have not changed: to bring two Italian brands such as Wilier Triestina and Pirelli as high as possible in the MTB world scene, to confirm themselves also in this 2023 as one of the most enterprising and growing off-road teams in absolute.
In addition to the new athletes, new sponsors such as Abus, Alba Optics, Ceramic Speed and 7C also arrive alongside the Wilier Triestina Pirelli Factory Team.
2023 for the Wilier Triestina Pirelli Factory Team will begin with a 3-week Team Camp under the warm Spanish sun as guests of the Hotel Cap Negret in Altea, to then open the ball as usual with the early season classic, the Mediterranean Epic.
All the XCO and XCM World Cup events, Internazionali d'Italia Series, Cape Epic and the national championships are on the calendar with the aim of once again hoarding jerseys, even if in this 2023, with such a beautiful and colorful jersey , it will be difficult to want to take it off.
