Team’s President Felice Gimondi will present to the media and public 2011 Bianchi MTB Team in Milan (Pirelli Skyscraper, seat of Regione Lombardia), next Wednesday February 9th.

For 2011 season the team owned by Bianchi, with TX Active by Italcementi as main sponsor, will again have an Elite-Under23 team and a Junior team, respectively managed by former professional rider Massimo Ghirotto and Andrea Ferrero. The Elite-Under23 team will consist of five strong bikers: French Stephane Tempier, Portuguese Ricardo Marinheiro, Italian Cristian Cominelli and new-entry Tony Longo and Gerhard Kerschbaumer, both from Italy.

Also the TX Active-Bianchi Junior team, with a roster of five young and talented riders including two Italian Champions, will approach the new season full of confidence.

Bianchi will supply the Elite-Under23 team with the Methanol SL “Team Edition” carbon frame, top of the MTB range, featuring some customized components. The Junior team will ride the Methanol SX model.

TX Active-Bianchi’s Elite and Under23 team will gather in Montichiari - Brescia (North of Italy) for a six-day training camp from February 4th to 8th. It will be the occasion to fine-tune bikes, clothing and plan the upcoming MTB racing season.

Team’s international race calendar will be unveiled at the press conference.
