Guercilena confirmed that Richie Porte is set start the 2020 season on form for the Tour Down Under and the Australian is likely to again lead Trek-Segafredo at the Tour de Francꦿe.

Guercilena confirmed Nibali would have two peaks🦩 of form in 2020. With the🧸 Giro d'Italia and Olympic Games road race his major goals, it's impossible to also target the Tour de France.
"Vincenzo's main goals are the Giro d'Italia, the Tokyo Olympics and the World Championships in Switzerland," G💦uercilena made clear.
"In modern-day cycling, thre𝔍e peaks of excellent form in the same year are impossible. It's important to balance things carefully and try to have two peaks."
Vincenzo is a leader – he joined our team to get results
Trek-Segafredo has world champion Mads Pedersen, Jasper Stuyven, Toms Skujiņš and Edward Theuns for the Classics and one-day races. Other new signings include Emīls Liepiņš, Alexander Kamp and Britain's Charlie Quarterman.
Nibali has recently returned home from a holiday in the Maldives and will begin training for 2020 after Shanghai and a perso🐓nal sponsor trip to South Africa♏.
Trek-Segafredo will have a training camp in Ragusa, Sicily in December and another in January in Mallorca. However, Ni💙bali could enjoy a spell at altitude in late January.
"We haven’t decided wheꩲn he makes his season d🥂ebut but were considering a start in Europe in the second half of February," Guercilena confirmed. "Vincenzo could also spend some time on the track in Apeldoorn in early December for some tests that could be repeated in Mallorca in January."
Nibali joins Trek-Segafredo with his trusted coach Paolo Slongo, soigneur Michele Palini, doctor Emilio Magni and younger brother Antonio. Guercilena has already built a group of riders around Nibali that will follow a similar race programme. These include Giulio Ciccone, Gianluca Brambilla, 𒐪Nicola Conci and Antonio Nibali. New🌞 signing Kenny Elissonde could also be part of the unit for the Giro d'Italia.
"I'd describe Vincenzo as quiet and discreet. But he knows what he wants and speaks his mind. His charisma is clear to see in the decis𓆉ions he takes and the ideas he wants to develop," Guercilena said.
"Vincenzo is a leader, he's joined our team 🦄to get results. The young riders in the team have to learn from him, how he focuses on the details, how he focuses on a goal. But that's not his priority; he's here get to results and show he's a leader. We'll try to help hi💮m do that."
