Team Knauf announces partnership and complete roster

Team Knauf has found a sponsor to help with preparing its athletes for competition. The team, directed by Giuseppe Martinelli and Guido Bontempi, will draw upon the experience of Endurancenter to help train and test its athletes.

"I am proud to announce this collaboration," said Daniele Zammicheli, Director of Endurancenter. "From cycling, we have learned a lot, and now we can offer our experience. Martinelli gives us the opportunity to do so with a professional team. We are excited to enter in a project that offers us the opportunity to professionalize an important, but often overlooked aspect of cycling, athletic preparation."
