Chiara's arrival represents an important strengthening of the female part of the team and another step forward towards the internationalization of the renewed Orbea Factory Team. Chiara will try to shine in the best races in the world and has already been training for a few weeks with her new Orbea Oiz and Orbea Alma, the two bikes on which she will compete throughout 2024.


2024 is a special year, and Chiara already knows it. In an Olympic year, her goal is clear. “My main focus for this season will be Paris. First of all I will look for the ranking to represent my country; and if I succeed, I will prepare myself in the best possible way for this race".
Honestly, it's the best bike I've ever ridden in my entire life. It's made for me.
Its geometry allows me to have a very safe bike on fast and technical sections despite riding a small size. I also appreciate the relationship between lightness and rigidity of the frame. The move to 120mm feels like a success and I can tackle the technical areas with greater confidence – Chiara Teocchi
