Info @Gazzetta_it - According to our sources @luke_lamperti - recent stage winner at Giro Next Gen (now with Trinity Racing) - could jump in World Tour with @soudalquickstep @cycling_podcast
A product of Trinity Racing's development, 20-year old Luke Lamperti is currently seen as one of the most promising under-23 riders in the peloton and is rise to World Tour level seems inevitable at this point, reportedly Soudal - Quick-Step are already in conversations.
Lamperti has turned pro in 2021 with British team Trinity, where Tom Pidcock has ridden in the past, and he is on his third season with the lineup where he's been developing. Despite being a continental team, he has had the possibility to race internationally across several continents and has been bringing quite a lot of success throughout these seasons.
Last season he's won a stage at the Tour of Taiwan, but in 2023 his level stepped up a notch, taking victories at the Volta ao Alentejo, Circuit des Ardennes, Rutland-Melton Classic, Tour de Bretagne, Tour of Japan and the recent Giro Next Gen. These are mostly sprint victories, however he has also won a prologue and has shown the ability to climb well over short ascents.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport Soudal - Quick-Step are a team that has always focused quite a lot on sprints and could be on the hunt for a new top sprinter, or perhaps leadout man in Lamperti.

- He had the VID man. Yes, he was well on his way to winning the Giro.awp15-11-2024
- So he's got an attitude of egocentric proportions, typical Yorkshire guy then...
leedorney15-11-2024 - Might be bit isn't. The reason is actually that no one wants to work for free. But that's my point. Incur the costs for a year, make clear that ads are coming and see if it works. No one else has tried this in cycling.Renz15-11-2024
- Plus MVDP now having basically done 4 seasons in 2 years might warrant a slightly longer rest than usual, although even then his will STILL be shorter than 98% of all other pro cyclists in any field.Mistermaumau15-11-2024
- Yes, I’d say they’ve done their job in CX.Mistermaumau15-11-2024
- C’mon, they need this kind of gooey content in winter to stop readers switching off. Medias sowing seeds to provoke discussion and rumours that lead to a self-defined legitimacy to introduce undesired questions during rider interviews in order to boast delivery of “original” contentMistermaumau15-11-2024
- By definition an analogy is always GERMANE, tganjs for pointing out the obvious and revealing you don’t understand its purpose.Mistermaumau15-11-2024
- The reason you don’t see these type of websites often and certainly not in cycling might be that they die before you find them. But tell us about it when you’re done I’ll visit to check it out.Mistermaumau15-11-2024
- Someone should do this: create a cycling news site that is free with no ads. Watch the subscriptions like up. Then carefully and slowly introduce ads. I might do it myself. Sites like CUTD are poorly conceived and consequently a mess. Readers will leave as soon as there is a better alternative.Renz15-11-2024
