Matteo Trentin is 36 years old, and although age is advancing, the Tudor rider feels strong, and his victory yesterday at Paris-Tours is confirmation of his impeccable form. It had been more than a year since the Trentino rider had won, exactly since July 26, 2024, at the Ethias Tour de Vallonie, but yesterday's success is even more beautiful because he won in front of a specialist like La Porte. For Matteo Trentin, this is his third victory at Paris-Tours after his wins in 2015 and 2017, which makes him very proud. "I feel old knowing I won this race for the first time ten years ago," Trentin said after the awards ceremony - But inside I'm still young. I'm happy to have finally won a race this year."

In his career, Trentin has achieved 32 victories, including three stages at the Tour de France and four at the Vuelta, as well as a continental title. In 2019 at the World Road Cycling Championships in Yorkshire, he finished second behind Mads Pedersen, after a truly tough race. In 2025, in his second year with Tudor colors, he has shown he is still among the best, and his victory was delayed somewhat by bad luck and situations that made things difficult for the Trentino rider. "After the Tour de France, I felt strong, but bad luck in Hamburg slowed things down a bit. Today the two leaders were strong, but we managed to keep them close and reduce the gap. It was a tough race with echelons, crosswinds, and high speed, but I was able to use my diesel energy and it worked."

In 2026, the Borgo Valsugana native will continue to race for Tudor, led by Fabian Cancellara. He is the experienced man on the team and a rider you can always count on.

"I decided to join this team because I believed in their project. It's a team I like, I feel good with them, and I'm happy to be a guide and help the group grow. We are achieving good results, and I'm certain many more will come."
