Team Polti Kometa completes its roster with Alessandro Tonelli

Team Polti Kometa finalizes its lineup for the upcoming season with another experienced rider from VF Group Bardiani CSF Faizanè: following Samuele Zoccarato, here comes Alessandro Tonelli. The 32-year-old from Bornato (Brescia province) has competed in 5 Giro d’Italia, 8 Milan-San Remo, and 6 Il Lombardia during his career. He also boasts two stage wins: at the Cro Race in 2018 and in the Volta Valenciana earlier this year. Known for his attacking style, Tonelli has signed a contract with the Fundación Contador’s ProTeam for 2025.

Tonelli: “First of all, I want to thank Polti Kometa for giving me the opportunity to keep racing. After a decade with the same team, starting my eleventh year in a new environment will almost feel like turning pro all over again. I intend to bring all my cycling and personal experience to this squad, aiming to improve further as I’ve always done.”

Sports Director Stefano Zanatta: “Alessandro is another excellent addition that perfectly fits our racing philosophy, he’s experienced and breakaways are his hallmark. I also know him personally, he’s a true professional and I’m delighted he’s joining us. He’ll be an asset in every respect, including supporting Piganzoli in the mountains.”

With Tonelli’s signing, the 20-men roster for 2025 is now complete. New signings Tonelli and Zoccarato join four neo-professionals: two coming from the Continental category (Ludovico Crescioli and Aidan Buttigieg) and two promoted from the U23 ranks (Pablo García and Gabriele Raccagni). The 14 riders confirmed from 2024 are Davide Piganzoli, Mirco Maestri, Giovanni Lonardi, Andrea Pietrobon, Davide De Cassan, brothers Davide and Mattia Bais, Diego Sevilla, Fernando Tercero, Manuel Peñalver, Fran Muñoz, Javier Serrano, Alex Martín and Germán Gómez.
