PROFILE
Italian climber Jacopo Colladon makes the step up to the senior Team Novo Nordisk pro team for 2025 after two years with the TNN development team.
Colladon has been racing bikes since he was thirteen. Starting on mountain bikes, moving to cyclocross and finally hitting the road, the young Roman has come through the ranks of one of Italy’s oldest and most respected amateur clubs, the AS Roma cycling club.
After attending the Team Novo Nordisk Talent ID camp in 2021, 18-year-old Colladon was selected for the 2022 development team roster and as he puts it, “My dream became a little bit closer.”
Also a celiac, Colladon was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when he was thirteen and benefited from an already close relationship with the family doctor and supportive parents. Working together to educate themselves about the best way to manage diabetes, they discovered Team Novo Nordisk and five years later Colladon achieved his goal and became part of the team.
On the bike the young climber has shown excellent promise with standout results in 2024 coming at Tour of the Gila, Gran Premio New York City and Tour of Bulgaria.
Off the bike Colladon is a music student, studying classical guitar and enjoys traveling, spending time with family, friends, and the family dog.
