Women’s Massi-Tactic will include a subsidiary structure to promote commitments

The Massi-Tactic UCI Women’s Team, from Torroella de Montgrí (Girona), will add a subsidiary to the structure from next season. The Massi-Tactic Academy will take over from the so far second amateur team that has had Baix Ter Cycling Club (Catema.cat) and it is designed so that young runners can jump to the first team in a period “between six months and two years. We want the reserve team to be the best national team category in Spain, just behind the UCI teams”.

The subsidiary of Massi-Tactic will consist of catalan cyclists, above all, and also Navarre and of Balearic Islands, and will run in Catalan, Spanish and, occasionally, international competitions. The Massi-Tactic Academy This will be included in the structure of the first team: “The directors of both teams will work together and the two teams will do the preseason and prepare together so that the subsidiary can learn and internalize the preparation of a UCI team,” added Güell.

Last year the team had Catalan, Spanish and cyclists from Germany, Poland, Sweden, Portugal, Ecuador, Mexico, Slovenia and the Netherlands and, in the coming weeks, the squad for the 2023 season will be finalized.
