Everything is ready for the return to competitions next Sunday, with a double commitment for the MBH Bank Ballan CSB Colpack team. The headline race is undoubtedly La Popolarissima, a historic international competition held in the province of Treviso that has brought great satisfaction to the team in recent years. In particular, in 2022 1st Nicolas Gomez and 2nd Francesco Della Lunga, while in 2023 the team replicated with another splendid double thanks to Davide Persico and again Francesco Della Lunga, winning under the eyes of Alessandro and Emilio Ballan. In 2025, they return to the Veneto region with a fierce formation, led by Flavio Miozzo.
"Treviso is the carousel of sprinters", explains Miozzo himself, "and it is also very important for the local community. We will have a highly qualified group of participants".
The week was characterized by bad weather, and not everyone could train according to plan. Taking the start on the 174 km route will be: Matteo Ambrosini, Sam Quaranta, Matteo Fiorin, Barnabas Vas and Gabriele Casalini. There was some uncertainty regarding the conditions of Christian Bagatin, who fell last week in Croatia and was forced to rest for a few days. The rider from Varese underwent rehabilitation therapies during the week. He himself explains the situation: "I had to stop for 5 days. What seemed to be a simple bump turned out to be more serious than expected. We took some time to decide, although in the end I had to reluctantly withdraw".
Also on Sunday, the race will take place in Montecassiano, at the GP San Giuseppe, with 32 teams at the start, including 9 Continental formations. The team will be led by team manager Antonio Bevilacqua, on a 162 km route. The lineup for this race includes Luca Cretti, Enrico Simoni, Mark Valent and Edoardo Cipollini.
Finally, seven athletes from the team, as already announced, are engaged in a high-altitude training camp on Mount Etna. In Sicily, in addition to benefiting from the altitude, the group can train on hilly routes and in favorable climatic conditions.
