Luca Colnaghi will remain in the peloton in 2027 as well. A month ago, interviewed by tuttobiciweb, the rider from Lecco made no secret of the fact that he was looking for a team for the upcoming season, hoping that some squad would be interested in an athlete with his characteristics. The long-awaited call has come from the East: Colnaghi will defend the colors of the Chinese team China Anta - Mentech

«I'm really very happy. In just a few days, a situation that was honestly not looking very promising has been resolved. Speaking with the managers of China Anta – Mentech, I immediately felt a good connection and the confidence I was looking for. That confidence that had been missing for a while: this has held me back a bit lately. I'm ready for this new adventure, I can't wait to get started» Luca tells us. This season, wearing the Bardiani CSF 7 Saber jersey, he won the Trofeo Città di Brescia, finished second at the GP del Lazio and concluded fourth in the Italian Championship.

The agreement between the 1999-born cyclist and the Chinese Continental team was signed yesterday, but Luca has already been able to learn something about what will be his new team starting in January. «The structure and organization of the squad impressed me greatly. The team is ambitious, you can immediately sense the great confidence in the athletes and the desire to grow» he states.

It's still too early to know the details of Luca's race calendar, but, as he himself tells us, «the team is setting up a European base because it plans to race frequently on our continent».

In addition to Colnaghi, new arrivals are planned for the Chinese team: «They are renewing and strengthening the squad, and this is also one of the reasons why I'm convinced that China Anta – Mentech is the right choice for me» Luca tells us before saying goodbye.
