The Trek-Segafredo team announced that Gianluca Brambilla will remain on the US World Tour to support Vincenzo Nibali, Richie Porte, Bauke Mollema, and world champion Mats Pedersen.

The Trek Segafredo men's and women's teams gathered this week at Trek headquarters in Waterloo, Wisconsin, to plan and prepare for the 2020 season.

The women's Trek-Segafredo team will be part of the World Tour in 2020 and includes talented junior Elinor Beckstedt and accomplished veteran Lucinda Brand. Audrey Cordon-Lagotto, Lauretta Hanson, Anna Prikta, and Abi Van Tuysk recently renewed their contracts, as did Elizabeth Deignan, Lotta Lepisto, Elisa Longo Borghini, Letizia Paternoster, Ellen van Dyk, Taylor Wiles, Ruth Winder, and Trixie Wallack will join the 2020 roster.

Brambilla becomes the 27th Trek Segafredo men's athlete on the 2020 roster.

New UCI rules require men's WorldTour teams to have a minimum of 28-30 riders. Trek-Segafredo, which has also signed several neo-pro riders, including Britain's Charlie Quarterman and American junior road race world champion Quinn Simmons, will need to add three more riders to its roster to comply with the UCI rules.

Trek Segafredo has added 10 new riders through 2020. In addition to Nibali, his brother Antonio, Kenny Elissonde of Team Ineos, Denmark's Alexander Kamp (Liwar Redines), Latvia's Emil Liepiņš, Neo Pro's Michel Ries, Quarterman, and Simons. Junior time trial world champion Antonio Tiberi will join the team in 2021 after spending the season as an under-23 rider.

Pete Stetina is set to move on from Trek Segafredo, while American Kiel Reijnen will be on the 2020 roster, along with Kane de Kort, Ryan Mullen, Classics leader Jasper Steiven, and Toms Skujji Together with ņš, they form the backbone of the team. John Degenkolb will move to Lotto Soudal in 2020, while Pedersen will step up with the Classics team to race in the world champion's rainbow jersey.

Brambilla won a stage at the 2016 Giro d'Italia and wore Maria Rosa for two days, but has struggled since. He helped Mollema to a fifth-place finish at the 2019 Giro d'Italia and is expected to form part of Nibali's team along with Giulio Ciccone at the Giro d'Italia and other stage races.

"Of course I am happy to stay with the team. I've already been part of the Trek family for two years and to stay for another year means that the team believes in me and I believe in their philosophy and goals.

"I am looking forward to racing with the strong new riders on the team, especially with Vincenzo. I am especially looking forward to racing with Vincenzo. I hope to win again next year. I don't care which race, but I really want to win," Brambilla said.
