The training course
For more than 20 years, training has been an integral part of our activity and contributes to the success of our cycling team. Not only on the sporting level, since the riders from our training center have written some of the most beautiful pages of our professional team, but also on the human level.
The athletes who "grow up" together within the training center, constitute within the professional group a solid and driving core, cultivating a federative spirit, essential ground for performance.
Since 2017, two teams make up our training program, the U23 and the U19. We are constantly striving to improve our training program, thus meeting several challenges: the well-being of our athletes, the development of cycling and, of course, the success of our sports project.
