"I am super motivaꦦted to join Trek-Segafredo! I have learned a lot over the past five years at Quick-Step Floors and I am really grateful for that, but now I feel it's time for me to take the next step in my career. I am looking forward to changing teams, to see how another big team works, to meet new people, and to contin👍ue improving," said Brambilla.

At the 2016 Giro, Brambilla also enjoyed a stage in the pink jersey. He skipped the race this year to ♐make his Tour de France debut and will return for his sixth appearance aiming to better his 13th overall from 2012.

"As a kid, when I saw the Giro on television for the first time, I immediately knew I wanted to become a cyclist🍌 myself," he said. "The Giro d'Italia is really my all time favorite race and next year I definitely want to make a big result there. I hope to arrive there in the shape of my life and will give it my all during three weeks to🍨 hopefully take home a really good spot in GC."

With success in one-day races,♒ Brambilla explained he is also looking to impress ꦍin the spring and autumn monuments.

"Obviously I also like the Clas🐈sics in the Ardennes and especially Liège-Bastogne-Liège, but if I am honest, the Monument I like the most is Lombardy. Being an Italian it would be a dream come true to be able to win that race one day," he said.

"I am convinced Gianꦛluca will be of great added value to the team. He has already proven to be a force in stage races, an🐈d will be one of our spearheads in next year's Giro d'Italia," Guercilena. "Gianluca can win stages and go for the GC, but he can do well in one-day races too. We are excited to have him join Trek-Segafredo next year."
