The activity of Team Bike Sicilia continues with enthusiasm for the 2025 season. The team active in the U23 category confirms itself as the only Sicilian reality in this category, continuing with renewed commitment to the growth of young cyclists in Sicily.
For the new season, Paolo Tiralongo's team presents a largely renewed lineup compared to 2024. There will be 10 athletes defending the colors of the Team led by team manager Paolo Tiralongo and sports directors Leonardo Giordani and Gianluca Brugnani: 9 athletes in the U23 category and 1 in the Elite category.
Only two athletes are confirmed from 2024, namely Elia Basile and Gianluigi Scibilia, both in their second year as Under-23. With them are their peers Samuel Bertolli (from Mastromarco) and Alessandro Curzi (from VPM), fourth-year Erik Chemeli (from Trentino Cycling team), third-year Iann Kutzeled (from Biatini Gomola CCN), first-year Giuseppe Carmeni and Andrea Risplendente (from Madone) and Giovanni Di Stefano (from Team Ballero Sicilia) and the Elite Emanuele Ansaloni (from Technipes).
Team Bike Sicilia's commitment represents an ambitious challenge, and the company led by President Egidio Lista hopes that more and more entities will appreciate and support the project sponsored by the Municipality of Melilli with Multicar Amarù, contributing to its growth in the coming years. The Team has made a significant investment in building a group of excellent athletes, already known in the cycling landscape for their results.
The objective is ambitious and finds further momentum in the partnership with the Juniores Madone team of Alessandro Di Marco, which will serve as a nursery for Paolo Tiralongo's project. The seasonal debut is set for Saturday, February 22nd in Tuscany for the classic Firenze-Empoli race.
