When it comes to mountain biking at the highest level, every component counts. From the athlete’s leg to the last technical detail of the bike. It is precisely from this philosophy that the collaboration between Sprayke and Team Cetilar Nutrition Cervélo was born: two realities that, each in their own field, aim high and work with the same obsessive attention to performance.
Cervélo ZFS-5: pure technology at the service of speed
In competition, the team relies on one of the most advanced full suspended MTBs around: the Cervélo ZFS-5, a bike designed to dominate in cross-country and marathon. Carbon frame, modern geometry, lightness and stiffness where they are needed: it is a pure racing machine. The setup is completed by Öhlins suspension, SRAM drivetrains and brakes, Damil wheels, Maxxis tyres, Darimo handlebars and Leonardi cranksets. Every element is designed to respond at its best, even in the most extreme conditions.
We at Sprayke come into the picture at the perhaps less visible… but crucial moment: maintenance. Our products – high-performance lubricants, degreasers, protectants and cleaners – are an integral part of the preparation routine. Because such a bike, to remain flawless and perform at its best, needs the best possible care.
A close-knit, competitive team
The team, completely renewed in its graphic identity and structure, is one of the most interesting on the Italian scene. The yellow-black livery is a declaration of intent: energy, visibility, character. Bringing these colours to the race is a young, close-knit group of athletes hungry for results:
Domenico Valerio: experienced, solid, always a protagonist in marathon races.
Mirko Tabacchi: a name that needs no introduction. World experience and a pedalling style that speaks for itself.
Giovanni Campesan: young and promising, with the right talent to grow quickly.
Luca Rigon: grit and perseverance, ready to make a difference in XCO races.
Anna Bardelle: passion and determination, the pink tip of the team, ready to take on all challenges.
For us, being a partner in this project means providing not only products, but also know-how, passion, and attention to detail. From deep cleaning after rain to the right lubricant for a dusty race, Sprayke is at the team’s side to make sure that every bike is perfect, every time.
That’s the beauty of behind the scenes: working quietly to build something great. We are proud to be there, and to contribute – in our own way – to what promises to be an exciting season.
