The Dark Days are coming for you
It better be ready for the Dark Days
Let's start with Paolo Colonna, athlete from Pugliese, his third year as a team Scotty
Tell us about your passion for cycling
Hello everyone, my passion was born as a kid, in summer I came here in Valseriana from my auntie, who is without children
My auntie, being a Masco Bomber, gave me the passion for cycling, I remember she made me see Pantani, Yan Ulrich, when they gave her from Santaragione
The passion was born there, the year after, coming back down, fortunately I was born in a society
And I started cycling in the second year
Then I moved to the north, two years since I was a kid, I went pretty well, I won seven races
Then I moved to the Lucchini d'Aliogallina from Ander, 20 places in ten for a first year
Then I moved out for two years, for family problems, and I had the strength to start from the elite
And I won an Italian championship and I had a dream of going to professionalism with the Bardiani
And then the mountain bike ride
And then the mountain bike ride with Scott, I have to be honest, every time I train here since I was young, when I came here from my auntie
I passed in front of this company and I saw an important mark
It's the bike that I always liked the most
I remember when I used it on Erdogan, it was the bike that I wanted
You went to be part of the Scott team, I know that at the beginning it was a bit difficult for various reasons, also regarding the aspect of the ride, of the mechanical environment
But now, the whole Scott race in the team, we are the third year, something important is waiting for you, Paolo
Yes, let's say that the first year, I was so sorry, but so much of an experience, and I was hit a bit, I mean, maybe I was tenth and I gave up
Because for our team, maybe getting to the tenth is not important, but I understood, last year, that the mountain bike, maybe the sixth or the twentieth, won the race
And I worked on it, then I was a bit in the descent, and even there, I already felt ready, I did some nice descents at the end of the season
Now I have fun in the descent, here, at the beginning I had the trauma
Bocca Lupo, good season Paolo
In the new year 2017, at SRT, also Puliesi, like Paolo Colonna, and of course Paolo, to bring this young athlete here to the Scott Italia at Albino
We are with Minocicci, hello Mino
Hello, hello everyone
So, tell us, have you seen what you are? You are the new man of the mountain bike, tell us a little bit about your passion for cycling, everything you want
Yes, I am new to this team, but my passion comes from my grandfather, because he was a Puliesi champion of cycling on the road in the thirties
When he gave me my first bike on the mountain bike, and then a bike on the road, I decided to take this passion back for a long time
So I started cycling, to do my first races, and from there it is a chain that no longer exists
From one race to the other, and then the passion was born
This year I am...
Can you tell us a little bit about your company, with whom you have been cycling?
Yes, I have been cycling for three years in Puglia, here, in my area
Now I have the opportunity to be able to guide in a team, in a proud team
You are a little bit excited, worried, galvanized, let me understand
Yes, there is a lot of emotion, because going from a team of the area to a national team is a unique experience
In Boca Lupo, good season Mino
Krippi, Krippi to all, ciao
They continue the interview with the athletes of SRT, Scotter and Sintime
We are with Cristiano Salerno, second year in Casa Scotte
Cristiano, tell us a little bit about your 2016 season
Yes, good morning everyone
It was a 2016 season, certainly for some positive, for others negative
But simply because I had goals that I have achieved in part
A bit because I undervalued the situation, a bit because the experience is what it takes
It is true that I have been cycling for many years on the road
But cycling in mountain bike in a marathon race is totally different
The only thing that is common is to push on the pedals, but the effort is inexplicable
It is a race where you step forward and win those who are less energetic
So there are few tactics, there is a lot of determination and I had a lot to learn
On the other hand, the winner of Bellegrand Fondo, Bellemarator as the legend
The 8 km of Forti
Is there something important at the technical and agonistic level in Cristiano Salerno?
Yes, this year I won the race in a few races
There are races in which I started with a win of wanting to do results and I succeeded
Maybe other times I started a bit more on those who maybe
My defect is looking at the starting list too often and starting to say
This can make me go forward rather than the other and I start conditioning
I have to learn to be more determined and I certainly want and I can bring home more important results
It is strange that with the experience you have, the first mountain bike, on the road there is almost a voice of self-esteem
No, it is not self-esteem, you simply have to realize how the situation is
I have been racing since I was young until I was young, in the mountain bike but in the cross country
At 18 years old, the physics is different than at 31
On the road, you pedal like a mountain bike but it is another way to do it
Now I have done the marathon, which for me is a new specialty
It is always mountain bike, always pedal but it is a different way of racing
To face it, how to face a cross country race, how to face a race on the road
It is a tactic that is not too correct, so you have to take the measures
I am sure that I am working on it and I hope something good will come
I wish you a happy christmas, thank you
We are with the sports director of the Scott Resin Team, Mario Norris
During the presentation, there is someone who praised you as a person
But also in the role that covers the inside of the team and this is a reason for great pride
I am sure, I am happy with the voices that say these things
From those people who say these things
I have been in the mountain bike for many years, as a rider and as a sports director
I do not think I have enemies on the field of racing
I am always the one who tries to agree with the other teams
Because if you have to improve in certain situations, you have to agree and improve them
During your interview, you said that you liked the skirmishes
And I can say that inside the team 2017 there are some athletes
You see Paolo Colonna, you have to understand who he is
And this boy Mino, who has just been interviewed, understands who he is
Exactly, I really like him because I still play
Let's talk more about Colonna
For me he has many gifts
The only thing is that last year he was better than the year before
So it will be the third year, he improved, in the end he was strong
And I hope that at the beginning of 2017
Because potentially there is a very powerful force
And in my opinion it can give a lot to the mountain bike and to our team
And Mino, Mino is a young man, always with the help of people behind
In this case Paolo Colonna, who is close to home
And therefore Pugliese, who told me that there was still a boy left
A boy, to say the least, because he is 90 years old, so he has a nice place
But a boy of age, because he is 19 years old
And he has surely said that he has a talent and let's see
Of course it is not that I expect big results next year
But he has already shown, both in Puglia and at the national level, that he is going well
And then the confirms, Niki, Cristiano and Yuri
Well, Niki is confirmed for years now that with us, Yuri, otherwise
And they are positive confirms
And the confirmation of Salerno after a year alone, however
The confirmation of Salerno, which for two years will certainly be with us
Is a more than positive confirmation, because having done a year alone
After many years of professionalism on the road
And having obtained certain results, from me expected
Maybe not from him, but we are happy as a team
And logically we aim to confirm it
Good work, good work Mario
Thank you all, bye
If you keep it tight, this shirt, the tricolor that was won in 2016
Yuri Ragnoli, who of course will also score in this 2017
To be the protagonist in Valdisole, the champions of the anime Marathon
But not alone
Hi Yuri, I obviously take a step back
As soon as I finish the 2016 season
What do you think, your judgment, a little bit of analysis?
Yes, hello to all the spectators
2016, there have been many ups and downs
I was born, however, from a successful grade
Which has affected me this shirt of color
The vote would be a 7.5-8, better
Especially in, let's say, French
Which I did not manage to control directly
But which I would have been unfortunate
With a little bit of luck, next year will certainly be a better year
I am really super motivated for the next year
There is a super team that supports me
We have bikes that I think are the number one bikes in absolute
So I have no many excuses this year
I want to score high, there will be two, take this tricolor
And it will be the primary goal
Both of the challenges are great, Yuri Ragnoli
But let's talk to you, let's say that the three Italians
At the international level in the Marathon
They are not yet able to get great results
What is missing, what is behind that is not going?
Tell us, in your opinion, do a little bit of an analysis?
The current national city, Celestino, would answer you
That we are here in the phase of Crescita
In the sense that there was a generational change a few years ago
In Italy, in the Marathon
We are, let's say, in 5 or 6
We are growing from the 1988 class
And for the first time in the Marathon
It is the right age, let's say, it begins to be now
Between the 28-29 years, of course, with the right experience
And the right kilometers, even in the legs
Let's say, made in years of experience, of course
And so, I think that from this year on
We have to say our way as a national
Because we have athletes who are very strong
It is said that we have not given up on all the courses
Me, as well as my national friends
We have a physical coach
So, we defend ourselves a little
Where there is so much power
And there are so many foreign athletes there
That are from 70 to 75 kg in Shukun
So much power, so much power in the legs
And immediately we struggle a little for that
Boccalupo, good season, Yuri
Klespie, thank you!
We have left it for the last time
And therefore I miss it at the level of Galateo
I ask you, sorry, Nicoletta Bresciani
It is the only competition, indeed, the only three
Inserted in the roster of the Scott and Ressim team
25 years are many, 25 years of Nicoletta's activities
Yes, there are many, but at the same time
They have all been so exciting
I spent many years in the squad, in the Scott
And I think I will stay until the end
In my career in this team
Because I find myself very well
It is a bit strange to see you
Riding in the Cross cycle, short routes
And then to see you busy, especially in the
Grand Fondo Marathon
We will also see you in the Cross Country
Yes, some Cross Country races, I will definitely do it
I will also score the Marathon
Because my team still wants to do Marathon
And also because it will serve me
As a starting point of reference
For the Winter Games of the Cross Cycle
Quartan and Piggipo of the Feminine Movement
The Feminine Movement, this year, in these last years
It is growing
With Chiara Teocchi, with the other guys
Altotesine, it is missing a bit
At the Marathon level
Because we are few
And the races are always longer
It is more difficult to train for these races
But I see that there are still some guys
In Boca Lupo, have a good season, Niki
Thank you
The presentation is started
With the greeting of Donatella Suardi
General Manager for Scott and Italia
It seems right and necessary to close

In short, to understand
To understand what Scott means in cycling
Scott
For us
As Scott, you know that the group
Scott consists of many lines
Many sports
But cycling
The Baie part
Is our core business
It is a very important sector
We are proud to be here today
To present this new team
From road
new for us, a great failure, but extremely positive and convinced that it will take us as much as the
Scott Ressentine has brought us in these years. Scott at the world level is strong,
it is also strong on the road. Today, commercially speaking, we are satisfied, but I think that
with this new agreement, with this new idea, we will confirm ourselves a little bit like
also in the mountain bike, seen and considered that the products really that have been made in the
last two or three years are definitely interesting. I take back a little bit some messages that
have been launched during the presentation, no hesitation, dedication, ambition, passion, family.
Absolutely yes, we have underlined every time that there is the possibility, at least the fact
that it is a family, but also a team, a group with very precise roles, but behind all this,
which is obviously business, because the goal is that, we are going very well, we are very satisfied,
but I also believe a lot, due to passion, determination and also this slogan,
also for two years. Scott has launched as a no-short-cut, so no hesitation, straight to the point,
with the effort, with the mistakes, straight to the point. Thank you very much, have a good season. Thank you.
