The active technical collaboration and partnership relationship in place between Miche and Italian Cycling Federation. A true partnership, the latter, which has contributed to multiple successes in recent years The Italian national track team has achieved some impressive results. These include gold medals at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, the 2021 World Championships in Roubaix, the 2023 European Championships in Grenchen, and finally the splendid gold medal won by the women's quartet in St. Quentin-en-Yvelines in 2022.
The next big commitments that await our national track team will be the Glasgow World Cup, scheduled this year in the first half of August, and the highly anticipated Paris Olympic Games which will be held in the summer of next year.
Production quality
"Continuing to support the Italian Cycling Federation, and the Italian national track team in particular," said Luigi Michelin, CEO of FAC Michelin, "is truly a source of immense satisfaction for us. The extraordinary successes we've achieved together, most notably the gold medal at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, testify to the value of this partnership. For a company like ours, working together with athletes of this level is the most effective way to create and test cutting-edge products, always striving to improve. Miche is proud to support the Italian national track team thanks to its technical know-how, based on the use of advanced software, 3D printing and extremely rigorous quality control of the components."
«We thank Miche for the support he has provided us over the years – replied FCI President Cordiano Dagnoni – concrete support, thanks to which we have achieved important results who have brought prestige to Italian sport and great prestige to our cycling. I am certain that this will continue to happen in the future, knowing that we, and Miche, have a common destiny, that of being witnesses in the world of an Italy that wins».
A centennial history
With a prestigious history in the world of cycling, Miche has represented Italian excellence in the production of cycling components for over 100 years. Thanks to the most modern technologies, combined with internal testing laboratories, Miche is capable of producing extremely high precision products. Thus created, they perfectly meet the high technical and performance standards required by the Italian national track team. Miche's contribution to the Italian athletes is realized with the supply of the entire transmission system.
In addition to the bottom bracket and chains, the riders will use the sprockets Gold Pistard, finely CNC machined and finished with WC/C surface treatmentThis process is able to improve the resistance of the materials used and reduce friction with the chain by 75% without the use of lubricants.
The cranksets and chainrings supplied by Miche are, in turn, made of Ergal 7075-T6 and CNC machined: all components which are then treated with a “sand-blasted” finish so as to increase the rigidity of the material: thanks to this treatment, every single watt is transmitted to the ground without any power dispersion.
