Filippo Ganna is the trump card that will complete the four Italian talents to turn pro with the first Chinese WorldTour team TJ Sport which is currently known as Lampre-Merida, joining his current team mates in Team Colpack Simone Consonni, Edward Ravasi and Oliviero Troia.
An excellent time trialist (current Italian Under 23 champion), a successful rider on the track (gold medalist at the 2016 world championships in the individual pursuit), a talented rider for the Northern classics (winner of the U23 Paris-Roubaix), the twenty-year old Italian has signed a two-year deal which makes his new path in the pro cycling world official.
Ganna has been supervised in the past two years by the sports group of Giuseppe Saronni and he also participated in Milano-Torino in 2015 as stagiaire with LAMPRE-MERIDA.
After this announcement, Ganna will fly to Qatar with the Italian national team in order to participate in the World Championships, taking part in the Under 23 road race and in the Under 23 time trial.
