Gianluca's news

Etixx - Quick-Step rider Gianluca Brambilla moved into the top 10 of the overall classification, after cleverly being in front and entering the breakaway at 178km La Vuelta a España Stage 13 on Friday. Teammate Niki Terpstra also made the move, and the 24-rider escape group decided the stage. Brambilla finished 13th, and Terpstra 17th.

Etixx - Quick-Step rider Gianluca Brambilla followed the actions of the main peloton, without much problem, through five of six total climbs in the taxing 138km La Vuelta a España 11th Stage, from Andorra la Vella to Cortals d´Encamp, on Wednesday. However, the italian rider lost contact on the final Category 1 climb to the finish of the Queen Stage, as Fabio Aru (Astana) attacked from the reduced peloton. The pace was simply too high as the group, consisting of most GC contenders in the race, split in pursuit of Aru with 7.6km to go.

Etixx - Quick-Step announces a contract extension with Italian rider Gianluca Brambilla for the next two seasons (2016-2017).
