vincere insieme - winning together
In 1994, Unione Sportivo Coppi, later called Squadra Coppi, rose from the ashes of two DC area teams: Kodak Ektar Film and Victory Velosport. Squadra Coppi's founders envisioned a grassroots team centered on equality and community. The club was initially sponsored by an excellent organic restaurant, “Coppi’s,” themed around the great Italian champion Fausto Coppi. As the club grew and prospered, it has counted as members: a junior who later win a U.S. Elite Road Race championship and a spot on the U23 American team, a woman who wore the Coppi jersey to win the fabled Mount Washington hill climb, and state and regional champions in numerous categories and disciplines. The club’s motto “Vincere Insieme,” or "winning together,” remains our guiding principle. Squadra Coppi remains open to all who share our passion for cycling. Our Squadra Coppi teammates continue to inspire us to learn and grow as athletes, competitors, and friends — both on and off the bike.
