VF Group Bardiani-CSF Faizanè announces the two-year contract renewals, through 2027, of Manuele Tarozzi and Vicente Rojas, and the one-year renewal, through 2026, of Alessio Martinelli.

Manuele Tarozzi concluded the 2025 season as one of the most active riders in breakaways. He won the King of the Mountains (KOM) jersey at Tirreno–Adriatico, was the rider with the most breakaway kilometers in the world during the first part of the year, and finished fourth in the mountains classification at the Giro d’Italia, also winning the Red Bull KM classification.

Alessio Martinelli, from Valtellina and born in 2001, experienced a first part of the season affected by several crashes — including at the Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana and the Giro d’Italia. He took tenth place in the stage to Castelraimondo, the eighth stage of the Giro, and later finished seventh in the queen stage of the Tour du Limousin (Saint-Jal › Masseret).

Vicente Rojas, Chilean born in 2003, completed his first U23 season with several noteworthy results: fourth overall at the Giro della Valle d’Aosta, second in the third stage of the Alpes Isère Tour, fourth in the final stage of the Giro Next Gen, and solid performances in top international U23 classics such as Eschborn Frankfurt U23 (4th).

Team Manager Roberto Reverberi commented:

“We decided to continue with Tarozzi, Martinelli, and Rojas because they have shown commitment, reliability, and great potential for growth. Tarozzi has given continuity and strength to his work, Martinelli has reacted well after facing difficulties, and Rojas has confirmed his good qualities. They are three riders on whom we can build our future.”
