More than just cycling: the team of emotions

Reading time: 1 min | ★★★☆☆

Polti VisitMalta is much more than a team. It is far more than just an Italian landmark in international cycling. It is a truly unique project because its foundations rest on the passion of two riders like Alberto and me. It is unique because it is not limited to the professional team, the youth sector, and the sporting-social projects of the Fundación Contador; it is completed by the excellence of AURUM bikes, which we created while we were still a Continental structure. It is unique because it adds uniqueness upon uniqueness—such as participating in the Giro d'Italia for five consecutive seasons, winning two mountain stages, and winning over fans with an organized and proactive style of racing, consistent placements, breakaways, victory in the Coppa Italia, and the development of talent.

Efficiency as Beauty

We are in the world's top 30 and the top 10 of the Professional category; this year we achieved a total of 31 podiums, including 6 victories. But above all, we unite emotional intelligence through the commitment of every athlete, every technician, every staff member, and every sponsor. Driven by our uniqueness, we continue to grow along the path we have been carving for eight years: fighting for sporting goals; giving meaning to sacrifice, joy, and defeat; and offering men, women, adults, and children a different kind of narrative. Cycling possesses a "sustainable power" that is often not valued as it deserves: its values are universal, found in daily life, in companies, and in society. We want not only to embody them internally but to transmit them to the world like no one else. We want to be everyone's team, the team of emotions, the team of history. In Italy, and across the world.
