TORPADO FACTORY TEAM

The Team Manager is Sandro Lazzarin, a historic collaborator of our company that increasingly demonstrates his value and expertise in the cycling environment, achieving important goals.
This year’s team will give us some good news with new very promising athletes but also confirmations with athletes who have been part of the team for many years. The goal of 2023 is to start preparing all athletes in anticipation of the Olympic Games in Paris 2024 by focusing the season in XCM races but also XCO. The big news of 2023 will be the participation of one of the athletes in national and international cyclocross competitions.

Casey South competes in mountain biking at the highest international level. At the moment I’m competing in the two disciplines Olympic cross-country and marathon. The cross-country discipline is better known, also thanks to top Swiss athletes such as Nino Schurter and Jolanda Neff. The marathon, on the other hand, is an interesting discipline due to its increasing popularity in grassroots sport. While most cross-country races are not open to recreational athletes, marathons often feature a separate start for recreational athletes as well.
