The VF Group Bardiani-CSF Faizanè has announced its lineup for the first race of the season, the Clàssica Comunitat Valenciana, scheduled for Sunday, January 26. The race will start in Valencia and finish in La Nucia after 184 km. The route includes several challenging climbs, such as the Alto de Barx, Coll de Rates, and Alto de Turrón Duro, with the final summit located just 8 km from the finish line.

Roberto Reverberi, the team manager, stated:“We want to start the season on the right foot after weeks of intense training camps and preparation. It will be crucial to tackle the final climb near the finish line effectively. We’ve brought many young riders, and for them, this will be an important opportunity to showcase their potential from the very beginning.”  

Here are the seven riders selected for this first test of the season: Matteo Scalco, Alessio Martinelli, Luca Paletti, Alessandro Pinarello, Vicente Rojas, Alex Tolio, and the 2005-born rider from Varese, Filippo Turconi. The team will be led from the car by sport director Roberto Reverberi.

No TV or streaming coverage of the event is planned.
