The Trek-Segafredo continues to bet on young talents for their long-term project and a new demonstration of this is the announcement that they made this Monday with the signing of the young Spanish cyclist Marc Brusienen, 22 years old. Brusienen arrives at Trek-Segafredo from the Caja Rural subsidiary, with which he has achieved five victories this season, highlighting the Aitzondo Clasica and the Gran Premio Ciudad de Vigo, in addition to being third in the Spanish Cup and second in this competition in the sub-23 category.
In statements collected by the Trek-Segafredo website, Brusnemos himself thus values his arrival to the team. “Signing with Trek-Segafredo is a dream come true. Since I was little my goal was to reach the highest level of cycling and now I have that possibility. I have worked hard to get to the World Tour and now I am here. It is incredible. I chose the Trek-Segafredo after talking with Markel Irizar and he explained the project for the next few years. It sounded great and I also heard that there is a great atmosphere in the team. It is one of the biggest in the world and I hope to learn in races, especially in the classics. With these experienced colleagues I will have my chance. My goal is to help the team when asked and having fun is also important to me. I want to learn from the most veteran to apply those lessons in the future. “
Markel Irizar, Scout for Trek-Segafredo and one of the main supporters of his signing, highlighted the characteristics that Brus rea can bring to the team. “Marc is a very good sprinter but he is more than that. He climbs very well for his strength on the sprint and he is also strong on the flat. He has a very similar profile to Matteo Moschetti and Mads Pedersen, and I think he will be a good rider for the North Classics. He’s very smart at racing and very good technically. Besides, Marc can read the races tactically very well, so it will be very valuable to us in races and sprints where those skills are important. ” Luca Guercilena, Trek-Segafredo manager, also wanted to highlight the qualities of Brusienen: “With the signing of Marc we are once again investing in the future with young talents. Marc’s results are impressive, even in races that are not 100% his specialty. “
