All the call-ups of the Italian national team for the Kigali World Championships: elite, time trial, under-23, and juniors

Today, the Italian Cycling Federation finally announced the selections for the 2025 Kigali World Championships, which will kick off on September 21 (this Sunday). As already revealed, the Italian national team will field at least one rider in every category — making us one of the very few nations to do so — and will fill all the slots available in the elite categories.

The men’s elite team will line up with a powerhouse squad featuring Marco Frigo, Giulio Pellizzari, Fausto Masnada, Mattia Cattaneo, Lorenzo Fortunato, Andrea Bagioli, Giulio Ciccone, and Matteo Sobrero. Three of them (Cattaneo, Frigo, and Sobrero) will also take part in the “Team Time Trial Mixed Relay” alongside Colonel, Paladin, and Venturelli. The women’s elite squad includes Elisa Longo Borghini, Silvia Persico, Barbara Malcotti, Monica Trinca Colonel, Francesca Barale, Eleonora Camilla Gasparrini, and Soraya Paladin.
