We are pleased to introduce you to Paco Castagna, new member of La banda del Machete. With roots in Arzignano and a life split between Italy and Scotland, 30 year old Paco Castagna is an unstoppable force in the exciting world of speedway. His passion for motorcycles began at an early age, doing slow laps in his backyard at the tender age of 4 or 5. However, it wasn’t until the age of 15 that he immersed himself in the fast-paced world of speedway, a decision that would change his life forever.<\/p>\n

Paco didn’t let his “late” start stop him. In a sport where many start competing at 5 or 6 years old, he proved that true passion has no time limits. In 2015, he celebrated his first senior individual racing victory, marking the beginning of a string of outstanding wins.<\/p>\n

Among his impressive achievements are his three titles as Italian Champion (2017, 2018, 2022) and four times Italian Under-21 Champion (2011, 2012, 2014, 2015). His prowess on the track extends beyond borders, with an Argentine International Champion title in 2022 and Slovenian Champion title in 2021.<\/p>\n

An outstanding member of the Italian national team and a European Pairs finalist, Paco has not only made his mark in national competitions, but has also shined on the international scene. From reaching the world qualification rounds to making the playoffs with the Edinburgh Monarchs in 2022 and 2023, his career is a testament to dedication and success.<\/p>\n
