Big, indeed huge. It is the sensation you get when you look closely at the buses of the cycling teams, now on the road for the Tour de France, real unique objects designed only and exclusively for the protagonists of international cycling. These are complex vehicles in the genesis, even more so in the modifications, a synergistic work that in Italy is carried out entirely by Tresca Transformer, an excellence that transforms the requests of the teams every year to better set up the buses (but not only) that accompany the efforts of bicycle professionals. Clients include big names including Astana Qazaqstan, Bahrain Victorius, EF Education Easypoint, Ineos Grenadiers, Trek Segafredo. That is the vehicles that also transport from 1 to 24 July: Alexsey Lutsenko, Matej Mohoric, Rigoberto Uran, Filippo Ganna and Bauke Mollema.
A job that starts from passion
A family matter for Leonilde Tresca, general manager of Tresca Transformer who since 2001 in Zola Predosa (Bo), together with her father Antonio and brother Enrico, have created the means for cycling races. “My father already had cycling teams in the 70s and he passed on his passion for this sport to me – says the dg himself -. Having expertise in the vehicle sector, we have begun to develop ever closer and specific vehicles for this world”. A story that is not limited only to buses but which now involves most of the vehicles that accompany the caravan such as flagship cars or restaurant trucks, the latter essential to comply with the strict protocols imposed in the last two years by the pandemic. But how is a medium of this type born? Here are the basic steps.
