Yevgeniy Fedorov claims the Under 23 jersey after fighting through 169 kilometres of rain and wind in Wollongong. True proof of maturity for the 22-year-old Astana Qazaqstan Team rider.

Simone Avondetto is the under-23 XCO world champion. The French circuit of Les Gets has crowned him as the strongest young biker in the world, not even two months after winning the European title. It’s a big celebration in the Wilier – Pirelli team.

Wilier Triestina has produced a special colour scheme for the URTA SLRs ridden by the Wilier-Pirelli team European champions Simone Avondetto and Fabian Rabensteiner. Because winners are born but champions are made.

Two weeks after Rabensteiner’s victory, Simone Avondetto (silver medallist in Novi Sad in 2021) finally wins the European XCO in the under 23 category in Anadia, Portugal.
