Biography
Known affectionately within the team as ‘Garo’, Gianmarco quickly integrated into our culture and enjoyed a strong debut season as a Wolfpack rider. At his home Grand Tour, the 23-year-old from Ancona took his maiden top ten at the Corsa Rosa on the stage finishing in Asiago, a result made more impressive by the fact it came after being involved in a crash in the first part of the race, thus demonstrating his determination and a spirit that has already seen him become a popular member of The Wolfpack. He continued in the same vein also in the second part of the year, notching up good results at the Nationals, La Vuelta and the European Championships, showing the ambition, values and principles that guide the team, which eventually landed him a two-year contract.
“From the moment I came here, long before my first race, I felt at home in the team. Everyone was so nice and gave me a warm welcome, and on top of that, I found the environment I needed to develop and become a better rider. The mentality of the squad and their winning attitude are two other things that have made an impression on me. You see this team from the outside, but it’s only when you are part of it that you understand how hard and with how much professionalism everybody here works, from riders to staff. I’m happy to continue with Soudal Quick-Step and give my best to help this team remain one of the best in the world.”
