The 2023 of SCOTT Racing Team XCM started from the island of Elba in early February, where the 4 riders gathered for the Training Camp organized by Team Manager Mario Noris and his staff. Saying goodbye to 3- Ime Italian XCM champion Juri Ragnoli, the team has strengthened and rejuvenated its group with the addiIon of two athletes. Confirmed are the two top riders Jacopo Billi and Andrea Siffredi who last year were protagonists with a posiIve series of results despite some minor physical pit-stops. Alongside them we
will see the promising Gioele De Cosmo and Lorenzo Trincheri. Gioele De Cosmo: The Turinese, born in 1997, comes from the world of ‘XC and in recent years has played in the Wilier Pirelli parIcipaIng in numerous naIonal and internaIonal XC and XCM races, with some
outstanding results and appearances in the naIonal team, including victory at the Italian Xco U23 Championship, 5th place at the European U23 Championship and top 10 placings in the Xc U23 World Cup. Lorenzo Trincheri, born in 2002, is a promising young man and we are sure you will hear about him soon. He lands on the team with a streak of important results including a win at the Hero Dolomites 60 km, a fi\h place at the Assie]a Legend and a presIgious 11th place at the Roc D’azur Classic.
“The team has new inputs” – declares Ivano Camozzi President of the SCOTT Racing Team – “AWe have tried to focus on young people by including in the team athletes with certain technical characterisBcs and experience.

APPAREL & RACE KIT
For the year 2023 SCOTT Racing Team confirms the strong partners who kept developing and evolving its special uniform in the last four seasons. The synergy between several business enIIes has resulted in the first sustainable biking uniform, which combines high-tech features of high performance, breathability, comfort on the skin, shape retenIon and durability, ease of maintenance, style and ergonomics – fundamental qualiIes for the team – with the values of sustainability. the shirt has been produced with SiIp recycled fabrics produced with the premium recycled sustainable stretch yarn ROICA™ EF by Asahi Kasei, obtained from pre-consumer materials. In parIcular two GRS (Global Recycled Standard) cerIfied fabrics in recycled polyester were selected: NATIVE-BICIMANIA and
NATIVE-PIRATA with NaIve Sustainable TexIles and Microsense So\ Performance technologies offering maximum comfort on the skin, easy care and best breathability during exercise. An important news is linked to the shorts made from the NATIVE-THUNDERBIKE POWER fabric in recycled polyamide and Asahi Kasei’s ROICA™ EF yarn: designed for high-performance sports, this SiIp fabric is parIcularly suitable for making cycling pants because of its maximum opacity and UV protecIon-thanks to Eclipse Sun ProtecIon
technology-offering breathability, comfort and fit.
The kit that the team will wear this racing season is the result of teamwork between three partners: the knitwear company RosI, known for its technical excellence on product and image, the company SiIp, which specializes in the producIon of stretch and circular fabrics for the sports and urbanwear sectors, and Japan’s Asahi Kasei with its premium stretch fiber ROICA™, internaIonally recognized for texIle innovaIon.
Isola d’Elba & Capoliveri Legend Cup
The island of Elba feels like home for the SCOTT Racing Team. An increasingly sought-a\er desInaIon to spend a vacaIon among villages, trails, nature and the more than 200 beaches overlooking a sea with an extraordinary variety of colors. The Island of Elba is this, but also much more: it is adventure, adrenaline and freedom, thanks to the strong outdoor vocaIon that has become more and more established in the recent years, making the Pearl of the Tyrrhenian Sea a must-see desInaIon for sportsmen and acIve enthusiasts every season, even in winter, with temperatures of eternal spring. In such a ferIle and dynamic context, SCOTT has been laying the groundwork for a year for a 360-degree collaboraIon with the Island, and the training camp with the team is the highest expression of this. We would like to thank the Capoliveri Legend Cup staff for their hospitality and for the always perfect trails
