First preview of the 2025 season dedicated to VF Group Bardiani CSF Faizane training. The opportunity for us to look at the strengths and weaknesses of the Italian team next year.
Heavy uncompensated losses
Unfortunately, it is the daily fate of many Pro Teams to lose their leaders when they show a sufficient level to go to the World Tour. Unsurprisingly, this will be the case for Giulio Pellizzarithe best rider on the squad in 2024. Among the departures that count, we will also cite that of Domenico Pozzovivo, but also of Alessandro Tonelli.
Target top 30
As for everyone in the Pro Team, this will be the objective for 2025, to hold this top 30 synonymous with potential access to the Grand Tours of 2026. And for Bardiani, 27th this year, the task will be tough.
Rough because it loses its two best scorers from last season. But also Tonelli, who was in his top 10. And unfortunately, given the arrivalswe can legitimately think that the battle will be very very difficult to grab the top 30, because one thing seems certain, Bardiani will drop in the hierarchy in 2025.
