Montecatini Terme, 3 April 2026 – Great news for Team Solution Tech–NIPPO–Rali, which announces the return to competition of Domenico Pozzovivo. After a period away from racing, the rider from Basilicata will return to compete at the highest level with the team managed by Serge Parsani.
Born in 1982, a pure climber and one of the most experienced and respected Italian riders in the peloton, Pozzovivo boasts a remarkable career: professional since 2005, he claimed a stage win at the Giro d’Italia and the overall victory at the Giro del Trentino in 2012, along with numerous prestigious results in Grand Tours, including 5th place at the 2014 Giro d’Italia and several top 10 finishes between the Giro and the Vuelta.
The operation, strongly supported by Mirko Ferro, CEO of Solution Tech, represents a new starting point for Pozzovivo, with the goal of being competitive again from the very first races, starting with the Tour of the Alps.
Domenico Pozzovivo:
“It may have seemed strange and irrational to many that I decided to return to racing after some time away from professional cycling, but it is actually the natural outcome of extremely objective and measurable analysis and considerations, related both to my current condition and to the feedback gathered from the work carried out in recent months. I am grateful to Team Solution Tech–NIPPO–Rali for embracing my challenge with enthusiasm, and I will do my best to repay their trust with a contribution that combines experience and competitiveness in a sport that is increasingly demanding and constantly evolving.”
Serge Parsani:
“We decided to accept this challenge with strong conviction. From our very first discussions, we sensed great clarity and awareness in his approach, along with a very interesting level of condition. We are excited to embark on this journey together and we will do everything possible to put him in the best position to perform at his best. For us, he represents an important added value, not only for what he can deliver in races, but also for the experience and mindset he can pass on to the younger riders. We believe that, in an increasingly competitive cycling environment, a rider like Pozzovivo can still make a difference.”
