Will will reinforce our team time trial squad, and Alex will be of great help in the Classics. With them, we have a solid base for our Classics team and our group for the stage races."
Clarke was a member of the Leopard-Trek squad in 2011, and will likely know some of the sponsors, staff and riders already. Known for his hard work in breakaways, his top results include winning stages at the Tour Down Under, Tour de Taiwan, Herald Sun Tour, Tour of Japan and Volta a Portugal.

"It's a huge opportunity for me to⛄ be joining Trek-Segafredo," Clarke said. "It's a big professional team that I have always admired, and I really can’t wait to go back. Leopard-Trek was my first professional team, so I'm looking forward to working again with some familiar faces.
"I'm also really happy to be riding with Richie Porte. We are both from northern Tasmania, and we last rode together in 2008 on the Praties Team where he won the Tour of Tasmania. I hope to𝓡 assist him and the rest of the team in winning some big WorldTour races now. I am really motivated to get the best out of myself for the team."
Kirsch has spent time with the team four years ago as a trainee for Trek-Segafredo, a🐎nd the team now believes that he has made significant progress to ste𒉰p up to the WorldTour.
"I'm looking forward to joining Trek-Segafredo and making my debut i💦n the WorldTour," he said. "The team has high ambitions for the Classics, which I'm excited about. Having now ridden for a Belgian team, I know the roads and the culture very well, and I hope my experience and qualities will add ꦜvalue to the team.
