I won the National Championship title and finished The Traka 360 in the top 20.
This season, I’m riding with the MORTOP Bottom Bracket.
Winning the Italian title was incredibly fulfilling.
The many hours spent training on the bike and the great sacrifices made have finally paid off. I’ve tried for the last two years to earn the Tricolour Gravel jersey, and I’m thrilled to have finally succeeded.
Finishing in the top 20 at the Traka was a surprise.
It was my first time competing in such a long race against the best gravel riders, and I am very satisfied with the result.

My review of the Bottom Bracket
This is my first season using the MORTOP bottom bracket, and the results speak for themselves!
Here's what sets it apart:
- Smooth pedalling experience - offers significant energy savings
- Easy maintenance- tool-free tapered bearing removal
- Reduced friction – Awake grease covered the surface resulting in a smoother ride
Training and Upcoming Races
Now, I’m working hard for my upcoming races, which will be La Monsterrando UCI Gravel Series and La Strade Bianche del Garda. In October, the main event will be the World Championship in Belgium.
I train every evening after work for 1.5 to 2 hours on my gravel bike, with one rest day per week. On weekends, I do longer workouts of 4 to 5 hours with my teammates. My coach is Marcello Pavarin, who is also a MORTOP ambassador.
A Word of Appreciation
I’d love to share my appreciation for the precision and performance that MORTOP bottom brackets bring to cycling. For MORTOP fans, I’m excited to discuss the importance of quality components in enhancing the biking experience, as well as tips on how to get the most out of their MORTOP gear.
