168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Trek-Segafredo announced the addition of two riders to their 2018 roster on Monday, completing their line-up for the coming season. 26-year-old Ethiopian 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tsgabu Grmay ♓and 20-year-old It🌌alian trainee Nicola Conci will join the American WorldTour team next year.
Grmay, the reigning time trial champion in Ethiopia, got his start with MTN-Qhubeka in 2012 and spent three seasons with the team before jumping to the WorldTour with Lampre-Merida. After two years there, he joined 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Bahrain-Merida for 2017. A three-time time trial champion and two-time road raceไ champion in Ethiopia, he finished fifth overall at February's Tour of🎉 Oman.
"I'm very happy about this move. Trek-Segafredo really stood out for me because they offer a very professional guidance for their athletes. I am confidꦬent that within this team I can continue my development as a rider in the best circumstances," Grmay said in a team press release.
"I really like stage races because they suit me better than one-day races. Of course, it would be a dream come true if one day I would be able to win a stage race. But let's take it step by step. I want to keep learning and improving and will give it my all, and who knows, maybe one day, achieve that ultimate goal. In the meantime, I will honor my jersey, my team and my country. Being the first Ethiopian rider ever who turned pro, I fe🎉el the support of the whole country standing behind me and that gives me the strength to keep going until the bit🦄ter end."
Promising youngster Nicola Conci has ❀been with the squad as a stagiaire since August, and his official ascension to the Trek-Segafredo ranks next season will mark his pro turn. He was seventh overall at this year's Baby Giro, among other strong results as an under-23 rider.
“Turning pro is a dream for every young rider; being able to do that in of the big✤gest teams in the world makes it even more mind boggling,” he stated. The next ༺years I hope to perform well and be able to help the team like I could do in the Tour of Denmark, where Mads [Pedersen] won. That was really an amazing experience.
"I would describe myself as a climber/all-rounder. I am at my best in very hard races with enough climbs on the parcours. The Ardennes are my favorite terrain, and Liège is my all-time favorite classic. If only one day I🍬 could win there, I would be so happy. But of course, being Italian, I also love the Giro d'Italia, and especially the races with starts or finishes in Trentino, where I was born and raised. I wouldn't say no to a victory there either. Who knows, one day..."
