<Revised Introduction of Wilier Support Teams in 2022>: Hattori Sangyo Co., Ltd. Cycling Department (3rd volume) > 자유게시판

I received a complaint from a Czech friend who is the president of a certain helmet manufacturer that "my team is missing!", so I will revise the article introducing the support team on March 1st!

Additional introduction!!!

Elkov Kasper Czech Cycling Team

A prestigious Czech team that came to Japan for the Tokyo Olympics last year and performed better in road and TT races (than the Astana riders). His favorite bike is a Zero SLR in custom colors (sparkling blue/fluorescent yellow) and is in his second year under contract with Wilier. It is a friendly team, but has also produced national champions.

Astana Kazakhstan Team

A prestigious team in its third year under contract with Wilier, it was a great success in its first year, but in its second year last season, it was a disappointing year in which it was unable to achieve good results due to turmoil with sponsors and within the team. This season, Vincenzo Nibali, Miguel Angel Lopez and other riders who won at Astana have returned to their old clubs, and General Manager Alexandro Vinokourov, who was fired midway through last season, has also returned, making it seem like the team is united. The only concern is the suspicious situation of the Kazakhstan government. The main bikes are Zero SLR, Filante SLR and Turbine.

Bingoal Casino - Chebarmeire - Van Eyck Sport

A women's team mainly from Belgium and the Netherlands. In 2022, they got a new sponsor and their teamwear was renewed. The main bike was changed from last year's Cento 1Air Disc to Cento 10SL, and they will compete on the European front based in Belgium.

Briganze Cyclo Club 96

Briganze's prestigious mixed-gender junior team (although it's mostly girls' members...), in 2022, the bikes and team will be color-coded with blue as the color scheme with Briganze Millennium. The main bike is a beautiful Astana Blue painted Cento 1Air.

Briganze Millennium

A prestigious junior girls team based in the Briganze-Marostica area. Last season, Endrizzi, a founding member of the team, passed away. I heard that his son Marco Endrizzi is the main force in keeping the team going. I can sometimes meet team members when I go to Puntorosso Marostica, and I can have girl talk with Italian junior high school girls. The main bike is a Cento 1Air. They also take the initiative in participating in cyclocross, and they paint an old Wilier V-brake type aluminum bike in the team colors and participate in cyclocross races.

<<< MTB Racing Team >>>

Willier Force 7C Team Wilier Force 7C Team

A team of veteran members with former MTB marathon world champion Massimo de Bertollis as playing manager.

They perform well in the Cape Epic every year, and they test and create Wilier's new MTBs. The main bikes are the Ulta SLR and 110X.

Willier Pirelli MTB Team

A team formed in 2022 with the aim of competing in the Paris Olympics, featuring a young Belgian champion and two Italian champions. They already made their presence felt by winning a stage in a race in February. The main bikes are the Ulta SLR.

That's it!
