Team Polti Kometa focuses on Malta with an eye on 2025
Team Polti Kometa is holding its first preseason training camp in Malta, spending five days laying the groundwork for next year. This is an opportunity to conclude this season, which ended last Sunday with the Veneto Classic, while meeting with Maltese authorities, holding technical meetings, product fittings and doing a Social Ride on Sunday where team members can explore Malta in depth.
From today to Sunday 27th, Team Polti Kometa will be in Malta to begin preparations for the 2025 season. With satisfaction from the results achieved, excitement for the future of the project, and many new developments yet to be revealed, these will be intense days of preparation, but also a well-deserved rest in the beautiful setting of Malta.
Additionally, on Friday, a press conference will be held with the presence of authorities and cyclists, which will serve as an official welcome to the squad in Malta, with important announcements about the upcoming season.
Minister of Tourism and Public Cleanliness, Hon. Clayton Bartolo: “We are proud to once again welcome Team Polti Kometa to Malta for their pre-season training camp. This partnership with Visit Malta highlights our island’s growing appeal as a prime destination for world-class sporting events. Through initiatives like this, we are not only supporting elite sports but also positioning Malta as a top-tier destination for active tourism, helping to strengthen our tourism sector for years to come.”
CEO of Visit Malta, Mr. Carlo Micallef: “Visit Malta’s sponsorship of Team Polti Kometa’s training camp underscores our commitment to promoting Malta as an ideal destination for sport and adventure tourism. Hosting international teams like Polti Kometa enhances Malta’s profile on the global stage. This collaboration allows us to engage with new international audiences, offer unique experiences to athletes, and highlight Malta’s year-round tourism potential. We look forward to continuing our partnership with Team Polti Kometa and supporting their success in the upcoming season.”
Team Polti Kometa’s manager Fran Contador describes this camp as “a special moment in the season, where we reflect on 2024 and dive into preparations for 2025. To return once again to Malta, with the excellent treatment we always receive, the opportunity to explore the island’s wonders, and offer our sponsor Visit Malta special visibility, is a great satisfaction for the team. Next season will bring many new developments, and we’re already working on shaping a project that keeps growing.”
Visit Malta, the institution promoting tourism in the country, is once again organizing various activities after the fantastic experience in 2023, to fully explore all the corners of this Mediterranean island, which still enjoys perfect holiday weather at the end of October.
Alongside the usual product and component tests, the team members will have the chance to explore Malta and participate in activities like the Social Ride with the cyclists scheduled for Sunday. A season-end camp with a different purpose, bringing together all team members to lay the foundations for the 2025 season.
“I have an excellent memory of last year’s camp in Malta,” explains Polti Kometa’s rider Davide Bais. “A moment like this is ideal for laying the groundwork for next season’s planning, testing materials, and of course, visiting a beautiful place that we continue to discover.”
Renewals, signings, as well as new sponsor partnerships, will be revealed in the coming days, taking advantage of this camp with the presence of manager Fran Contador and Ivan Basso.
