Riccardo Archetti

The rider from Lombardy already knows the structure, since he was one of the four representatives of the U. C. Bustese Olonia ASD who were present at the training camp of Oliva Nova Beach & Golf Resort in February 2023. More recently, Archetti has also participated in the EOLO-KOMETA Cycling Team Pro Team training camp in Bormio (Italy). Archetti is a promising climber, winner in the Collegno-Sestriere in 2022 and with many top ten positions during the 2023 campaign, emphasizing his second place in the Giro della Castellania or his third place in the Trofeo Madonna della Guardia and the Gran Premio Comune di Vaprio. A native of Gorla Minore, in the province of Varese, he will be the sixth U.C Bustese Olonia ASD rider to racing in the Foundation’s U23 team after Edoardo Alleva, Manuel Oioli, Gabriele Raccagni and the brothers Tommaso and Gabriele Bessega. A synergy that continues to bear fruit. Thanks to the synergy with the Fundación Contador, the historic Varese school counts EOLO-KOMETA and Chiaravalli Group among its supporters for the promotion of young riders. “I’ve been cycling since I was six years old,” Archetti recalls. “My first experience with this sport came in my village, with Ju Sport in Gorla Minore, and from then on I never gave up cycling. I’m good at climbing and I like to escape a lot. For six seasons I have been part of the Bustese Olonia, where I have been able to mature, improve and above all have a lot of fun with some fabulous team-mates and directors. I am proud to follow the path from the Bustese to the Foundation; I hope to improve a lot, gain a lot of experience and, of course, if I have the chance, to achieve some success”.
