Completing the 30-strong roster of Soudal - Quick-Step, the 22-year-old Gianmarco Garofoli joins the Wolfpack on one-year deal. The Italian previously made a professional debut with Astana Qazaqstan. And albeit he didn't have many stand-out results, he certainly didn't disappoint with a number of top-10 finishes, including at recent Vuelta a Espana.
"I am really happy to ride for one of the best teams in the world next year, it’s a great chance which I’m already looking forward to with a lot of excitement. I hope to help on the climbs whenever needed and grab any opportunity that comes. The main goal for next season is to keep growing and become a better rider, and I am confident this is the perfect environment for me to do it," Garofoli said in a press release after inking the deal.
"We are known as being a team that invests in youngsters and believes in them, and Gianmarco’s transfer is another confirmation of this. He is just 22 years of age and has a lot of potential, has shown some nice things this season in hard races such as the Vuelta, but also before turning pro, so we welcome him in the team with open arms and can’t wait to see him in action next year," Soudal - Quick-Step CEO Patrick Lefevere added.
