Gianluca Brambilla has been an integral part of the Q36.5 Pro Cycling Team from day one. His exceptional skills and unwavering dedication have proven him to be an indispensable asset to the team’s success during its maiden season. Brambilla’s consistency and leadership have made a significant impact on the team’s achievements thus far and he has demonstrated himself to be a highly skilled road captain, at both the classics and stage races. 

With almost 13 years as a professional, the experienced Italian expressed his enthusiasm about the contract extension, stating, “I’m really happy and honored to renew with the team and to stay with this great group of people and teammates. My ambitions for the future remain the same: to win races. Whether it’s me crossing the finish line first or one of my teammates, that’s the main goal. In Vuelta a Asturias, for example, I was really happy to help Damo (Damian Howson) to win a stage there and I’m proud to help the young guys like Walter (Calzoni) as a sort of a mentor. I believe they are the future for our team, and it gives me great satisfaction to be able to help with my experience.” 

As a seasoned rider, Brambilla has a decorated career with numerous notable achievements, including stage wins at the Giro d’Italia and Vuelta a España as well as several GC victories. His expertise in different terrains and his ability to support the team in various race scenarios make him a valuable mentor for the neo pros and younger talent. Nevertheless, Brambilla is still motivated to seek personal glory whenever the opportunity presents itself.
