What can you expect? Our goal is to put Italy back on the ManGame map. A country rich with cycling history has been reduced to a minnow. We aim to change that.
Of course it is our first year on the circuit, so we can't expect much, but we can lay the foundation for something potentially great.

Our main sponsor Parmalat would ideally like to see at least 50% of our squad be from Italy.
EcoPetrol, our Colombian secondary sponsor, would like 2-3 Colombian riders on the team.

Parmalat has a global presence as a brand name, but is primarily known in North- and South America and the southern part of Africa. Perhaps we will aim to have a rider or two from those parts of the world.

Goals

Finish in the top 10 of the CT team standings
We have, hopefully, signed a lot of point scorers, so that although we lack a real top rider, we will still haul in many points from many riders across many different races. The dropouts in the division have of course helped us in achieving this goal.

Win at least 8 stages in stage races
This is the reason our calendar is filled with stage races. We aim to win at least 8 stages across the season. A difficult goal for sure, but we have confidence in our squads ability to win in many different ways.

Win the KOM jersey in Tour de Pologne

Our C1 goal for the season. We tried to pick one where we didn't have to compete for wins or top results, but rather one we can go after with aggresive riding, which we will hopefully be able to do in Poland.
To help us do it, we have picked the following riders:

Avila, Freddy Alejandro
Gabburo, Davide
Mosca, Jacopo
Talacka, Lukas
Velasco, Simone
Wackermann, Luca
Zana, Filippo
Zordan, Andrea

Win the Vuelta al Tachira

Another stage race, but this time we actually aim to win the entire race and not just stages. A difficult task, but a challenge that we are up for. One the following riders will hopefully stand atop the podium after the final stage in Venezuela:

Cattaneo, Mattia
Ciccone, Giulio
Fraile, Omar
Manfredi, Andrea
Miholjevic, Fran
Pereyra, Pedro Pablo
Quintana, Nairo
Tusveld, Martijn

Win Giro del Trentino

A race on our home turf, A race that is prestigious, A race that is important and could play a vital part in our teams history for years to come. We want to be visible, aggressive and victorious.

Avila, Freddy Alejandro
Cattaneo, Mattia
Ciccone, Giulio
Fraile, Omar
Price-Pejtersen, Johan
Restrepo, Jhonatan
Talacka, Lukas
Tusveld, Martijn
