He will turn 31 on November 19th, when he will already be working for the new season and especially for his new adventure with the Visma Lease a Bike jersey. Filippo Fiorelli will indeed wear the Dutch team's jersey next season.
Promoted to the top category in 2020 - after a stage with Nippo Vini Fantini and especially after making a name for himself in the world of gran fondos - the Sicilian Fiorelli has always ridden for the current VF Group Bardiani CSF Faizanè, growing step by step under the Reverberi family's guidance until becoming a complete rider, capable of performing not just in sprints but across various terrains.
His palmares includes just one victory, the first stage of the Sibiu Tour in 2022, but his high-level performances in the past two seasons have convinced Visma Lease a Bike to bet on him. He won't be the only Italian joining the yellow jersey next season, as he will be joined by Davide Piganzoli, coming from Polti VisitMalta. And he will find Edoardo Affini, who is now a historic cornerstone of the team captained by Vingegaard and Van Aert.
