A significant partnership was recently established that will link Cycling Team Friuli with another leading sporting entity in Friuli Venezia Giulia, in a joint growth project. This collaboration takes place in the aftermath of the Giro Next Gen, during which the Cycling Team Friuli Victorious played a leading role. In particular, the team shone thanks to the performance of the young player Alexander Borgo, which took fourth place in the seventh stage with the finish in Zocca. Now, the Friulian team can celebrate the arrival of an important new regional partner: the Montasio DOP Consortium. This consortium, famous for its cheese, will be carried on roads around the world by the athletes of the Cycling Team Friuli.
The marriage between the Friulian team and the Montasio DOP Consortium is going well beyond the simple sponsorship of a sports teamThis is an ambitious project that will involve all the team's athletes, integrating Montasio DOP cheese into their personal sports diet, under the supervision of nutrition experts. During this shared journey, performance and physical data will be collected, demonstrating, once again, how Friulian dairy products are a perfect ally for sports, also suitable for top-level athletesIn addition to its benefits for athletes, Montasio DOP cheese is also an important ally for a healthy daily diet.
The organoleptic and nutritional characteristics of Montasio DOP cheese represent an additional element that will further connect athletes to the Friuli region. This product will become part of a regional supply chain that has made Friuli Venezia Giulia a true "land of champions." The region combines technical expertise, an ideal natural environment for sporting activities, and genuine products, essential for healthy sports nutrition and wellness education.
Nutrition and sustainability
"For us," declared Renato Romanzin, Director of the Montasio Cheese Protection Consortium, "it's important to support sports organizations, particularly local ones, that use and appreciate Montasio and can derive significant nutritional benefits from its consumption. We will see the results directly on the streets traveled by these young cyclistsThey will be a testament to how an ancient and simple product can act as “fuel” for high-level performance."
«The agreement with the Montasio DOP Consortium – he replied Renzo Boscolo, the Sports Director of the CTF – represents an important step in growth, combined with the pride of representing one of our region's historic products. We've already included Montasio DOP in athletes' nutrition plans, and the results have been excellent, in addition to the appreciation for the product's flavor. Our technicians and nutrition experts are monitoring performance and acceptance, and we're very pleased with the results. But we'd like to highlight another key aspect. The Montasio DOP Consortium is a product of excellence of the territory, this allows us to carry out high-level sporting activities in a more sustainable way, further shortening the supply chain. Using products that are in line with our values, from a region we proudly represent, is an additional motivation for the whole team.We therefore thank the Protection Consortium for the opportunity it has granted and reserved for us."
