Sprinter, able to hold out on the not-too-hard climbs and then give everything in the sprint. “I got on well here right from the start, I liked the work setting from the very first moment and a beautiful relationship was created with teammates and all the staff: it is logical that I am overjoyed to continue this path, this project. This season I got off to a great start with the win in Valencia, then I didn’t find continuity, and that’s what I’ll have to work on for next season. The environment to be able to do this is ideal.” He will never forget his victory in a stage of the Giro d’Italia Under23, he becomes crazy about pizza, and in his spare time he loves to help his family with their work in the countryside. The place of the heart? Two: his village, Marano di Valpolicella, and also La Romana (Santo Domingo) where he has been on vacation.
