Passion, ambition and respect are the central values the Italian Motorcycle Federation and Macron share. Principles that emerged today, Tuesday, April 1, at the Macron Campus in Valsamoggia (BO) during the conference to present the partnership between the two realities and the Project Pata Talenti Azzurri FMI 2025. For the occasion, the headquarters of the Emilia-based company hosted over 200 people, including 50 riders from the various categories covered by the FMI, namely Enduro, Motocross, Quad, Speedway and Flat Track, Supermoto, Trial and Speed.
FMI President Giovanni Copioli and Gianluca Pavanello, CEO of Macron, opened the event by greeting those present and illustrating the genesis of an agreement to supply clothing to the staff of the Federmoto, the Dunlop CIV, the Technicians and the riders of the Pata Talenti Azzurri FMI. The collection includes polo shirts, t-shirts, sweatshirts and jackets in different colours, customised with the Federation’s logo.
Copioli recalled that this partnership comes at a time of intense modernisation of the Federation. At the same time, Pavanello explained the increasing involvement of the Bologna-based company in the world of motorsport, underlining the imporTance of the collaboration with the FMI.
Gianluca Pavanello, CEO of Macron: ‘The relationship between Macron and the world of motorsport is becoming increasingly intense, and the partnership with Federazione Motociclistica Italiana represents a further important step in this path, which already sees us working alongside global players such as Lamborghini Squadra Corse and Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP. We are happy to be able to make our technical garments available to the staff of Federmoto, the Dunlop CIV, the technicians and riders of the Pata Talenti Azzurri FMI and guarantee them the highest level of quality and performance, as well as a style and design that best identifies the winning spirit of this project. All this fits perfectly with the spirit of Macron Hero, which will stand out in the entire clothing line. These young riders represent the future of the sport. In them and in the teams that support them, there is passion, commitment, and desire to do something great, and it is significant to present this important agreement here at the Macron Campus, which is increasingly the home of sport’.
Giovanni Copioli, FMI President: ‘I sincerely thank Macron for allowing us to present two important projects at the Macron Campus. Our partnership, which has started in the best possible way, is developing into a major initiative. The Talenti Azzurri project is certainly one of them, given its importance for the FMI and all Italian motorcycling. Together with the Macron managers and the riders, I was able to take a tour of the company and see how much passion and commitment there is within this reality. The Talenti Azzurri project is now a consolidated activity that grows year after year and continues to contribute to making our riders capable of winning both nationally and internationally. Carrying it forward by guaranteeing quality support to the athletes is a constant challenge we are proud to undertake. I want to thank Pata for the collaboration that has linked us for years, our technicians, the families of the riders, and the riders themselves. Thanks to their commitment, it is possible to guarantee a future for our sport.’
