“We have always been focused on the social impact of our business too and that’s why we joined with boundless enthusiasm the project of the U.C. Imperia, based on the certainty that the professionalism of the coaching team and the passion of the young athletes will take us very far by fostering the values we believe in.

The Olio Raineri company has always had a strong commitment to its local community and initiatives, especially the ones which involve young people and sports. Also, the olive oil is a great source of energy and it is particularly rich in polyphenols and vitamin E, which give a major contribution against the effects of the free radicals produced during exercise.

“We have been very committed to building the team”, U.C. Imperia Raineri Team President Massimo Lupo said. “You can see children riding together, enjoy their silence and attention while listening to their coach, feel the enthusiasm of those who have been involved in the project... All this has dispelled any doubts, efforts and uncertainties as to the creation of the team”.

It is Giosuè Bonomi, former cycling professional who has been living in Imperia for the last 15 years, who supports, guides, and advises these young athletes.

“It is for me a great honour to work with the kids” the Technical Director said. Cycling is a heroic sport in the true sense of the term ad I hope to transmit them the technical skills, of course, but most of all values such as commitment, dedication and sacrifice to achieve any goal. I want to humbly enter into these kids’ lives, push them and help them grow up according to their own possibilities and skills. We have had an excellent winter training on swimming, mountain walking and running. Now it’s time to jump on and ride!”
