    Join Team Italy: More Rides, ZRL Teams, Pizza and Fun!

    Team Italy is a longstanding Zwift club and racing team that helps riders of all abilities improve their fitness while having fun and competing in a supportive environment.

    The Zwift Italy/Team Italy community was founded on January 4, 2017, with the goal of creating an all-Italian community on Zwift. Our numbers keep on growing thanks to inspiring leaders who motivate Zwifters from Italy and around the world to join our rides. Participation is also strong among women, thanks to our legendary “Pink Ladies!”

    We proudly take part in the Zwift Racing League with both male and female teams. A big applause goes to our ZRL captains, who are reaching important goals and growing their leadership skills. We also have the Zwift Running Italy group for runners!

    Our community is growing across all social channels, and Team Italy is active on Zwift Companion too. The Italian presence is strong and engaged — we want to play a significant role in the global Zwift community!

    The club hosts ten group rides every week, including:

    • Social rides for beginners
    • Competitive training sessions
    • A climbing & endurance event
    • The famous Burn Calories Ride (perfect for pizza lovers)

    We ride to train, but we also ride to enjoy more pizza and pasta — our special combo! Our ride leaders and our amazing red broom wagon make every event welcoming and fun.

    Our weekly Rides include:

    • Fat Burn Ride
    • Super Early Ride
    • Social SUB2 Ride
    • Burn Calories Together Ride
    • Endurance – Badge Hunting Ride
    • Morning Early Ride
    • Monday Afternoon Relax w/Rubberband Ride
    • Smile! It’s Tuesday Ride
    • Coffee Italian Ride
    • Hunting Ride

    Standing ovation for our Ride Leaders and Sweepers:

    Elvira Wilhelm, Lily Franken, Cris Benato, Angela Di Prisco, Marco Xibilia, Simone Maffi, Niccolo’ Martinoli, Christopher Vigna, Andrea Anastasio, Oleg Smirnov, Nacho Rodriguez, Alberto Roncalli, Paolo Cairoli, Jason Taylor, Steffen Riemer, Mario Serratore, Massimo Asti, Eugenio Milano, Angelo Barra, Jim Brauer “Höf”, Jayde Cardoso, Enrico Oggiano, Fabrizio Germani, Thierry Bøudøuresque, Luca Acco, Milo Rad, Sergio Mercky, Felice De Rosa, Rob Julian, Enrico “Groot”, Fabio Benotti, Stefano Vesprini, Massimiliano Caccia, Silvio Coggiola, Marco Tandu, Diego Zanin, Daniele Pascali, Etienne Constant, Robert Jones, Richard Mattinson, Marcello Ferraro, Fabio Cola.
