Giacomo Nizzolo about signing with Q36.5: "For me, it's like coming home, surrounded by people with whom I have worked for a long time"

At almost 35 years old, Giacomo Nizzolo has launched a final challenge by signing a two-year contract with the Swiss team Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team. The Italian comes out of two complicated seasons at Israel - Premier Tech, with only two victories in two seasons, which was rather disappointing for a sprinter of his caliber.

The only bright moments in these two years disrupted by health problems will be his victory in May over Tro-Bro Léon. "Winning is never easy and the victory in France was the highlight of the season. After the summer break, I did not find my best pedal stroke. 2023 was not an exciting year for me. I consider Tro-Bro Léon a great satisfaction, but it is clear that I hoped for more," he explained in comments reported by Tuttobiciweb.

"For me, it's like coming home. Surrounded by people with whom I have worked for a long time, I hope to find serenity and results."

"We hope to be invited to Milan-Sanremo, I would like to participate. I would also like to tackle the cobbled classics in great shape, in particular Ghent – Wevelgem which I almost won in 2021. This is the edition where I came second. It's a classic that is close to my heart. For this new year, I wish a lot of serenity for my family and a victory in Ghent-Wevelgem," concluded Nizzolo.
