Fabio Chinello, Paduan class '89, and Rino Gasparrini, born in '92 in San Benedetto del Tronto, will be the team leaders, because of their experience. «Fabio has been chosen for his former achievements. He will be a valuable man for the group and can well performe among professionals. We can say the same for Rino, our best sprinter, who has the quality to win in the top category. Actually he already succeeded last year on several occasions».

Among the youngest, class 1996, we find Davide Plebani from Bergamo, «he was one of the strongest juniores in Italy, we really wanted him. It is a complete athlete and has to grow without hurry. He will split his season between road and track, in early January he will fly to Spain with the national track team», and Giovanni Pedretti from Cremona, «he is at the first year of the category and like Davide he is still busy with the school.
