Bianchi started its partnership with Androni Giocattoli in 2011 convinced the Italy-based team could achieve relevant results in the major road race events all over the world thanks to its international vocation. And so it was.

As soon as the season got started, Team Androni showed they can impress in stage-race events as easily as they can be in the action in the bunch sprints or on a top-mountain finish.

Equipped with the new Oltre model – the flagship of Bianchi top road range HoC, Team Androni Giocattoli garnered 18 podium positions taking part in 9 races, including 4 stage victories and 1 overall win, in 3 different Continents (America, Asia, Europe), throughout January and February.

Thanks to their impressive performances and regularity, Team Androni and Bianchi stole the show in every race they took part and was able to jump on the podium with 5 different riders. Although the team doesn’t have a UCI ProTeam license, statistics confirm it is currently ranking just behind the first five top teams in the world.
