Carrera technical eyewear - protagonists in the world of cycling

For the season 2007 Carrera is the protagonist in the world of cycling as the sponsor for the Salieri Team, a team that is particularly competitive in the 'Mountain Biking' and 'Granfondo' division, for which the Safilo Group's sports brand supplies the technical eyewear and cycling helmets.

Today, the Salieri Team, which was formed in 1995, counts over 200 athletes, including a number of international champions in both categories, like Mirko Pirazzoli for Mountain Biking (Elite European Champion 2003) and Emanuele Negrini and Andrea Patuelli for Gran Fondo. The team from Bologna has lined up athletes, such as Emanuele Negrini, Maurizio Frigo, Andrea Patuelli, Marco Bettini, Melissa Merloni and Sara Ariatti for the athletic season 2007.

The season has only just begun and the Salieri Team has already achieved an important result winning the second step of the podium in the 'Granfondo degli Agolanti - Città di Riccione': Giuseppe Corsello from Bologna took the Silver Medal after the 125 kilometer-race, giving the team its first great victory.

Carrera, which has been a protagonist in the world of professional cycling and mountain biking for years, works with athletes from various international teams and supplies a series of special cycling helmets and eyewear that complete the collections dedicated to those who love all sports.

Carrera supports the cycling team by supplying the athletes with cycling helmets and sunglasses: Carrera's sporting soul is expressed in its innovative products dedicated to those with sport in their blood. Innovative production technology, avant-garde designs and outstanding high quality: these are the characteristics of Carrera's models, perfect for those who love all sports, not only professional ones.
