After 29 years in active service, the Bianchi MTB and cyclocross team has just announced its closure by the end of 2019. This puts an end to one of the oldest teams in the World Cup and for which illustrious bikers have passed, such as Jose Antonio Hermida, Julien Absalon, Leonardo Paez, Gerhard Kerschbaumer, Marco Aurelio Fontana or Stephane Tempier.

This decision responds to a change of strategy of the Bianchi competition department and will leave the current Bianchi Countervail components free: Stephane Tempier, Nadir Colledani and Chiara Teocchi.
