History
The GS Guerciotti was born in the 1977 thanks to the Paolo Guerciotti’s idea, ex cyclocross rider who after to have ridden on road racing with good success in the period 1961-66, in the 1967 it decided to engage exclusively in the cycloross, finishing his career in the 1980. Than he started his business career characterized in the production and selling of road bikes and frames. The amateur rider Vito Ditano becomes the Team Guerciotti’s symbol rider winning two world championships in the 1979 in Saccolongo and in 1986 in Lembeek, Belgium.
 
 
Thanks to Vito Ditano’s performances and of some Italian cyclocross riders as Flaiban, De Capitani, Gian Mario and Luca Bramati, the team becomes the bigger and stronger cyclocross team in Italy.  
In the 1983 arrives the Belgium rider Roland Liboton who wins the world championships in Birminghan and also the year after in Oss, Nederland.  
In the 1984, always in the world championships in Oss, Radomir Simunek wins the world championships, the fourth for Guerciotti team in the amateur cathegory.  
In the 1987 the Team Guerciotti wins another gold medal in the world champs with the german rider Mike Kluge, while in the 1988 the Czech rider Karel Camrda gains the seventh world championships for Guerciotti in Hagendoorf, in Switzerland.  
The world success continue also in the 1989 thanks to the Czech rider Andrey Glajza who wins in Pont Chateau.  
These are the years where amateur and prof athlets ride in separate cathegories.  
In the 1983 Henrik Djernis wins the rainbow jersey in Italy, with Daniele Pontoni third. It is the nineth title for Guerciotti  
In the 1994 it comes to the team the Italian cyclocross star, Daniele Pontoni. Pontoni wins with Guerciotti four national championships in 1995/96/97/99, the world cup in the 1995 and he becomes world champion in the 1997 in Monaco, Germany, winning for Guerciotti the tenth world championships.  
The recent history has like protagonist Marco Aurelio Fontana. Paolo and Alessandro Guerciotti chose Vito Ditano as sport directeur of the team and with his advice, Fontana becomes absolutely the protagonist of the Italian cyclocross. In the 2006  he shows a new national championships to Guerciotti  in the under 23 and in the 2008 he wins the title  in the elite cathegory (the most important title).  
Always in the January 2008 in the Treviso world championships, Marco Aurelio is a great protagonist in the elite race: it rides in the front of the peloton for all the race and then he arrives 6th, very closed to the podium.

In the season 2009/2010 Guerciotti looses Marco Aurelio Fontana due to his decision to focalize his activity in MTB discipline. But the decision to focus on young talented riders, it brings his results. Elia Silvestri, already winner two years before with Guerciotti in the juniores cathegory, he becomes the “team star” and he shows all his talent and he becomes the new talent of Italian cyclocross. Always in the same season it comes to Guerciotti Stefania Vecchio and she wins the last Italian championships in the women under 23 cathegory.
 
The team history continues. Riders, managers and sponsors promise to all the cyclocross lovers other moments of glory.
