A 2022 in line with expectations waiting to achieve far more prestigious goals next season.   Luca Guercilena , host of the Fantacycling live, underlines the best moments of the Trek Segafredo: "We won a stage in all the grand tours, holding the pink jersey for ten days - said the general manager of the American team - we defended ourselves against all the fronts even if there was no direct result in the classics”.

Mads Pedersen   he is the rider who has won the most: “He has grown gradually, after the World Championship won in 2019 he had some vicissitudes but this year he managed to contain the weight problem proving his worth. We are waiting for him for good performances throughout 2023”.

Juan Pedro Lopez   was the revelation of the pink race: “We were expecting a top 10 lap, and he did well in the Vuelta. A couple of mistakes due to inexperience arrived at the Giro, but you can reconfirm this by winning stages”.

Italian cycling hasn't stopped hoping for   Julius Ciccone:   “We always have the desire to have him competitive in the grand tours but now we will focus on stage victories. He is a very instinctive rider and sometimes this characteristic, over the course of three weeks, is not a good adviser”.

Lots of interesting young people to keep an eye on: “In 2023 we are focusing, in particular, on   Mathias Vacek . But not only that – Guercilena confided – we also have high expectations of Hoelgaard and Skjelmose Jensen.   Quinn Simmons   (whose long beard he had cut at the last Tour, ed) can do well in races such as Strade Bianche and Paris-Roubaix. You have to find perseverance".

Guercilena confirmed the market interest he had in recent months for   Filippo Ganna : “We made a valid offer which was not accepted for personal reasons. Pippo could have allowed us to increase the hype for our sponsors, especially the Italian ones. In the past there have also been contacts with   Primoz Roglic and Stefan Kung   but they did not materialize”.

Obviously, there was also talk of women's cycling, with Trek as the great protagonist of the last two years: “Winning   35 runs in 2022   it's not for everyone – he concluded – we have laid solid foundations to do well in the future as well”.
