On September 7, 2024, the POGI TEAM UAE GENERALI senior youth team competed in the 83rd Trofeo Otavio Bottecchia in Piancavallo, Italy. The boys first rode 30 laps of 2.8 km, then descended 5 km towards Aviano and climbed back up to Piancavallo along a panoramic road. There were a series of breakaways on the laps, in which we always had a representative, but without ultimate success. The final climb decided the race, with Bastian Petrič finishing 12th as the best of the Pogi Team riders. This is a good start for Bastian ahead of the upcoming European Championships in Belgium.
