The Junior team TRIS STAMPI FIOR DI GRANO GULP is preparing to start the new season with a clear goal: innovate the way young athletes train, recover, and grow.
Made up of riders aged 17 to 18, the team competes at international level, representing one of the most strategic age groups in cycling — the stage where physical development meets the foundations of professional performance.
Form 2025, the staff has chosen to rely on RightRide, the digital platform that allows coaches to plan, monitor, and predict the training load of each athlete. But more than a technological choice, it’s a methodological revolution.
A new approach to load and recovery management
What makes this project truly unique is its focus on alternating load and recovery management — a practice almost absent in youth categories. Traditionally, young cyclists train following generalized schedules, with limited control over individual fatigue or adaptation levels.
With RightRide, this paradigm changes. The platform enables the team to predict and quantify energy expenditure, expressed both in kilojoules, for every session.
This means being able to adjust workloads dynamically, day by day, and plan recovery periods scientifically rather than by instinct. It’s a level of precision rarely seen at the junior level, allowing the staff to personalize each athlete’s path and reduce the risk of overtraining. The result: more effective sessions, improved adaptation, and a safer, more progressive development model.
The scientific contribution of Leonardo Cesamelli
To strengthen the project’s scientific foundation, the team has partnered with Leonardo Cesanelli, sports physiologist and university researcher.
Cesanelli, author of several academic studies, will oversee the nutritional component of the program, integrating his research experience with RightRide’s performance data.
His role focuses on translating numbers into practice: analyzing caloric balance, defining individualized nutritional plans, and ensuring that energy intake matches each rider’s workload.
By combining data from training and nutrition, Cesanelli’s contribution will help fine-tune the body’s adaptation processes, allowing every athlete to express their potential without compromising recovery.
Data, precision, and innovation for youth cycling
The partnership between the TRIS STAMPI FIOR DI GRANO GULP team, RightRide, and Cesanelli’s scientific expertise creates a truly holistic performance model.
It’s not just about training harder — it’s about training smarter, based on measurable parameters and real-time monitoring.
Every watt, every heart rate, every rest interval becomes part of a controlled, adaptive system. This integration between technology and science ensures that performance is built on evidence, not assumptions. At the same time, the project promotes an educational value: helping young cyclists understand the importance of data interpretation, body awareness, and nutrition as part of their professional growth.
In other words, it’s a training model that teaches both how to perform and how to learn from performance.
A project that looks to the future
The TRIS STAMPI FIOR DI GRANO GULP Junior team stands as an example of how innovation can transform youth sports.
By introducing scientific load prediction, nutritional data analysis, and digital monitoring, the team isn’t just chasing results — it’s building the foundation for the next generation of athletes.
In a context where technology often remains confined to elite categories, this initiative brings professional tools to the developmental stage, where they can have the most lasting impact.
For RightRide, this collaboration represents another step toward its mission: making science accessible, practical, and truly functional for coaches and athletes who want to evolve with precision. The season has yet to start, but one thing is already clear — for TRIS STAMPI FIOR DI GRANO GULP, innovation is not a slogan: it’s the method.
