Professionalism. For Francesco Bettini, what was once a utopian dream of team busses, prestigious racing against the best in the world - maybe even the sweet taste of victory his uncle was so accustomed to - is now simpler. Being a professional is the act of getting up early in the morning, finishing his training before taking over the kitchen of his family's restaurant and bar in La California, Italy.

Being professional is a life without too many distractions. A schedule and with a purpose. Being with family. At work, at home and at races with Enough Cycling. An evolution of an upbringing on "pane e ciclismo" - bread and cycling.
