Bardiani-CSF has selected the last rider to complete the 2017 roster. Simone Sterbini, a twenty-two year-old rider of the #GreenTeam for two years, has renewed the contract with the team for next year.

By adding Sterbini, Bardiani-CSF will have 17 riders in its squad for 2017. The new faces, as already announced, will be Luca Wackermann, from tam Al Nasr-Dubai, and neo-pros Vincenzo Albanese (Hopplà-Firenze Petroli), Marco Maronese (Zalf-Fior) and Niccolò Pacinotti (Hopplà-Firenze Petroli). 

Twelve riders have already been confirmed Stefano Pirazzi (2017 will be his eighth season with Reverberi’s family), Nicola Boem (fifth) Edoardo Zardini (fifth), Enrico Barbin (fourth), Nicola Ruffoni (fourth), Simone Andreetta (third), Paolo Simion (third), Alessandro Tonelli (third), Giulio Ciccone (second), Mirco Maestri (second), Lorenzo Rota (second) and Simone Velasco (second). Bardiani-CSF also confirmed its sport management which will be made up of Bruno Reverberi, Roberto Reverberi, Stefano Zanatta and coach Claudio Cucinotta.

“Our reinforcement campaign has finished,” said Roberto Reverberi. “We selected three of the most promising Italian riders and added an unexpressed talent like Luca Wackermann. For them it will be important first of all to understand our team and philosophy. For all the other riders, 2017 will immediately be the chance for a new quality step”.

Sonny Colbrelli, Manuel Bongiorno, Luca Chirico and Luca Sterbini will leave the team. The former will join Bahrain-Merida while the future of the latter three is unknown.
