Gianluca's news

La Vuelta a España Stage 20, 175.8km in distance from San Lorenzo de El Escorial to Cercedilla, was another long day in the mountains for Carlos Verona. The Spanish rider again committed to the breakaway, which eventually became a group of 36 riders, with the solo stage winner coming out of that group.

Etixx - Quick-Step riders Pieter Serry and Gianluca Brambilla finished 7th and 9th, in the animated finale of 204km La Vuelta a España Stage 18 on Thursday, out of a select GC group. However, they arrived in that group for two different reasons.

Etixx - Quick-Step rider Carlos Verona continued his protagonistic ways at 185km La Vuelta a España Stage 16 on Monday, finishing 7th out of a 10-man breakaway that was given a big time advantage. The group eventually splintered heading into the third consecutive summit finish of La Vuelta.
