On April 25, 2025, MBH Bank Ballan CSB Colpack delivered a double triumph: Lorenzo Masciarelli won the Gran Premio della Liberazione in Rome, while Matteo Fiorin claimed the Trofeo Caduti di Nerviano. Both secured their first seasonal/U23 career victories. Takacs Zsombor added a 5th in Rome, highlighting the Italian-Hungarian squad’s dominance.
Gran Premio della Liberazione
A historic Italian one-day race on the challenging Caracalla circuit in central Rome—testing all-round ability.
Trofeo Caduti di Nerviano
A classic Brianza sprint showdown, tailor-made for fast finishers, with elite-level prestige.
Rome Race Recap
Masciarelli attacked 5 km out, soloing to victory in 3h13’35”, 28 seconds ahead of Germany’s Kessler and Andrea Alfio Bruno. The 2003-born rider dedicated the win to late friend Simone Roganti, drawing power from his memory in the final sprint. Teammate Takacs set the stage perfectly; Masciarelli’s form peaked for this prestigious title, boosting morale.
Noveriano Race Recap
Over 151.2 km, Fiorin crossed first in 3h14’49” (avg. 46.567 km/h), beating Lorenzo Cataldo by two bike lengths. He credited teammate Gabriele Casalini’s lead-out, ending an 18-month winless streak just 20 km from home—his mother’s cheers at the line made it unforgettable. Confident for next week’s Vicenza-Bionde.
Team Manager’s Words
“Emotional! Flawless execution—our first race domination this season. Masciarelli brilliant, Takacs stunning; Cipollini, Nespoli, Oioli all strong. We believed—maybe the only ones. Four wins by four riders, two international—pure team depth. Hungarian riders were pivotal.”
