Avancini creates his own team with Caloi bikes: "The team I had in my dreams, is now real!"
He was one of the riders who had yet to reveal his future for 2023 after his departure from Cannondale and he has done so with huge changes. Henrique Avancini has just announced the creation of Caloi Henrique Avancini Racing, a 100% Brazilian team of his own creation in which he himself will race.
New Caloi Henrique Avancini Racing
After a whole career with Cannondale, Avancini announced in 2022 that he would leave the team in search of new motivations. The result has been the creation of a young team led by himself and with 100% Brazilian DNA.
The team is formed by Ulan Galinski, Sabrina Oliveira and Cainã Oliveira, in addition to Henrique Avancini himself, and although they have not yet advanced the calendar is expected to compete throughout the World Cup season. The Caloi Henrique Avancini Racing is the result of a project with young riders that Avancini started a couple of years ago in his country and with the arrival of the former World Champion has become the most powerful formation of the country.
