Felice Gimondi, President of TX Active-Bianchi team, perfectly embodies the team spirit as well as Team Manager Massimo Ghirotto. Their philosophy is that success is a result of team work, individual excellence and investment on young athletes. They have developed a well balanced team of talented young riders that is built upon this experience and their history of winning. According to Gimondi’s way of thinking, the team maintains an important social role as both Italcementi and Bianchi deliver a strong ecological message through the mountain bike activity.
