Trentino is a global icon for the Dolomites and Lake Garda, a paradise where the peaks meet the valleys. But beyond the postcards, this is the land of cycling dynasties: from the Moser family to Simoni and Canins, up to modern stars like Paternoster and Trentin. Yet, the "new wave" is changing the script. No longer just climbers, Trentino is now producing the fastest wheels in the peloton.
Two names, separated by just one year, are leading this revolution: Agata Campana and Alessio Magagnotti!
⚡️ Agata Campana
Born on May 29 2008, in Castelfranco Veneto but originally from San Nazario in Valbrenta (Vicenza), she is now "Trentina" by adoption, attending school in Trento and having raced for the Trentino Cycling Academy.
In the U17 category, she won a total of 7 races, including the prestigious Coppa Rosa (the women's version of the Coppa d'Oro). She was the first local athlete to win this highly coveted race organized by VC Borgo, whose president at the time was Stefano Casagranda, father of Andrea, rider currently with BePink.
Moving up to the Junior with Vo2, she won 6 national races in her debut season, alongside European and World titles on the track in the sprint disciplines.
This year, she won the Omloop van Borsele, confirming her status as one of the top sprinters, not just domestically, but on the world stage.
🚀 Alessio Magagnotti
Born on January 27 2007, he hails from Avio in the Adige Valley. He spent his entire youth career at Forti e Veloci, and as a U17 rider in 2023 alone, he racked up an impressive 18 victories, including the Coppa d'Oro and the National Time Trial title, as well as a silver medal at the EYOF.
As a Junior, he continued his development at Autozai Contri in Verona, securing 14 wins last year, including stages at the Giro della Lunigiana, GP Baron, the Course de la Paix, and the Trofeo Emozione, in addition to European and World track titles.
In 2026 he has joined the Red Bull U23, where he has already claimed 3 victories. He was strongly sought after by Tim Meeusen, father of Anna, another top-tier sprinter who also shares a connection with Trentino!
