Martin Svrček

Biography

Born in 2003 in Nesluša, a small municipality in the region of Žilina, Martin Svrček impressed from a young age, giving an indication of his blossoming talents in a wide range of races. A complete rider, very strong on the climbs and possessing an excellent sprint, Martin has been unleashed in the junior ranks last season, racking up 15 victories including both national titles, a stage and the GC at the Tour du Leman, and a string of Italian one-day races. These wins and the impressive way he put to work his skills in stage races, one-day races and time trials have caught the attention of Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl, who signed Martin on a two-and-a-half years contract.

“I’m extremely happy, because this is the best team in the world. I wasn’t expecting something like this, so it’s really awesome. My dream was to get to the World Tour, but I couldn’t have imagined signing for this squad. I love everything about it: the atmosphere, the winning spirit, the history, the jersey that always stands out from the peloton, and I can’t wait to debut for the team”, said Martin, who has already raced with the Wolfpack in the second part of last year, impressing with his work rate at the head of the peloton.
