De Rosa 70 and Campagnolo, Made in Italy Shines at the Giro d'Italia

At the 2024 Giro d'Italia, while the phenomenon Pogačar left everyone behind, the attention of enthusiasts turned to the Professional VF Group Bardiani - CSF Faizanè team, the only one using 100% made in Italy bicycles. Their De Rosa 70 bikes are fully equipped with Campagnolo Super Record Wireless components and Bora Ultra WTO wheels.

The news is even more significant considering that 2024 is the first World Tour season where only Shimano and Sram groups are present as official sponsors.

The VF Group Bardiani-CSF Faizanè stood out by placing two riders in the top 20 of the general classification (Luca Covili and Domenico Pozzovivo) and winning the Intergiro classification with Sicilian Filippo Fiorelli, who wore the cyclamen jersey for two days. The team also holds another record: 20-year-old Giulio Pellizzari, one of the most delightful surprises of the race, was the youngest rider in the race, finishing second in the blue jersey classification. The 16th stage was memorable when he almost won on the slopes of Monte Pana. Under freezing rain, the young athlete from the Marche region led until, in the final moments, Tadej Pogačar caught up and passed him. The Slovenian champion then gifted Pellizzari his pink jersey, and a certain bond was established between the two.

Now, let’s look at the bike: the De Rosa 70, an aero bike designed by Pininfarina. We've already discussed it here:

With a declared weight of only 730 grams and an excellent aerodynamic penetration coefficient, it stands out in the team version for its white-based color with 12K carbon weave seat stays and seat post, giving it a decidedly elegant and sporty look.

At Cicli Corsa, you can find the De Rosa 70 - in team colors or one of the other six available variants - with the complete Campagnolo Super Record Wireless group, just like the one that stood out so brilliantly at the Giro d'Italia with Giulio Pellizzari.
