Stefano Oldani, born in 1998, has decided to take on a new adventure in 2026 by signing with the Caja Rural – Seguros RGA team.

Oldani arrives with a wealth of experience: he has competed at the highest level for six seasons, representing Lotto Soudal, Alpecin-Deceuninck, and Cofidis. Among his most notable achievements is his victory in the 12th stage of the 2022 Giro d'Italia in Genoa, achieved thanks to his talent in breakaways and his fast acceleration.

In the Caja Rural press release, Oldani explained his motivation: "From the first moment, I felt a special energy. Here, I found confidence and the concrete feeling of being able to return to my best level," he said.

Michele Gazzoli has announced a new contract for 2026 with Team Solution Tech – Vini Fantini , an Italian team with a UCI ProTeam license. This is an important addition for the team, which is looking to strengthen its position and focus on talented young riders. For Gazzoli, the move comes after a difficult season: the cyclist said he was affected by the long COVID crisis throughout the year, but is motivated to "turn the page" and relaunch himself.

Team Solution Tech – Vini Fantini, led by Serge Parsani, is also strengthening its structure in view of 2026: for example, it has hired Takehiro Mizutani as sporting director, who brings a long international experience behind him.
