Swatt Club is an Italian UCI Continental cycling team that competes in road and gravel races. The team competed domestically before gaining UCI status in 2026.[1] Filippo Conca notably won the Italian National Road Race Championships in 2025 while riding for the team.[2]
Carlo Beretta started the club in 2013, initially as a blog known as "SoloWattaggio" focusing on alpine skiing. Around 2017, the group created an amateur cycling club, known for their plain white uniforms.[3] In 2025, the team began competing at a higher level, signing riders such as Filippo Conca, Mattia Gaffuri, Jordy Bouts and Sebastian Schönberger, all of whom had previously or went on to compete at a fully pro level.[4]
In addition to the elite team, the amateur club has over 1,100 members, which riders can pay to be part of.[4]
