Simone Andreetta, Enrico Barbin, Enrico Battaglin, Manuel Bongiorno, Nicola Boem, Sonny Colbrelli, Luca Chirico, Andrea Manfredi, Andrea Piechele, Stefano Pirazzi, Paolo Simion, Luca Sterbini, Simone Sterbini, Nicola Ruffoni, Alessandro Tonelli and Edoardo Zardini are the 16 riders that will make up the Bardiani-CSF Pro Team in 2015. They are all Italians and have an average age of just 24.5 years.

 

In 2015, the philosophy of Bardiani-CSF won't change. The main goal is to develop young Italian talents. Roberto Reverberi's team will focus on the Italian calendar and search for invitations to major foreign races. These days the team is holding its first training camp from December 16-20 in Fiuggi and they will again gather in January and February in Riotorto in Tuscany.

 

 

The first official competitions will be at the Tour of Qatar and the GP Costa degli Etruschi but the team may still receive an invitation for the Dubai Tour. However, Enrico Battaglin will travel to Argentina with the national team to race the Tour de San Luis.

 

Colbrelli, Battaglin, Boem, Bongiorno, Zardini, Pirazzi and Ruffoni team will be the leaders of the team that has been joined by some of the greatest Italian talents: Andreetta (amateur), Chirico (MG-KVIS), Simion (stagiare), the Sterbini brothers Luca (amateur) and Simone (stagiare) and Tonelli (amateur). Simone Sterbini, Andreetta and Chirico made up the the podium at the Italian U23 Championships.

 

The team also loses a few riders: Marco Canola (UnitedHealthcare), Marco Coledan (Trek), Pablo Colonna, Donato De Ieso, Filippo Fortin (GM Cycling), Stefano Locatelli (retired) and Angelo Pagani (retired).

 

In 2015, the team set the bar very high with three stage wins in the Giro d'Italia for Canola, Battaglin and Pirazzi respectively. Colbrelli took five wins, a stage in the Tour of Slovenia and four classics, Giro dell'Appenninno, Memorial Marco Pantani, GP di Prato and Coppa Sabatini. Zardini won mountain stages in both the Giro del Trentino and the Tour of Britain while Boem won a stage in the Tour of Denmark, Bongiorno took a win in the Tour of Slovenia and Ruffoni took his first pro win in the Tour du Poitou-Charentes.
