C.BIOGRAPHY

In 2007,Trentin won the junior championship of the Italian road cross country championship. After several years of precipitation, in 2012, Trentin joined Team Omega Pharma-Quick-Step (the predecessor of Team Deceuninck-Quick-Step), which was highly cohesive and competitive in the one-day race.

Unlike big group sprinters like Kittel and Cavendish, Trentin is better at screening group sprints. After six years of training with the Team Deceuninck-Quick-Step, his ability to compete in the classic race is also on the rise. Trentin can even break into the breakthrough group in the long distance race under tough conditions with his strong endurance and ability to read the race, and then win the race with his sprint strength.

The 2019 TOUR DE FRANCE SKODA SHANGHAI CRITERIUM will also be Trentin's last race in Team Mitchelton-Scott. The former European champion will join Team CCC next season.
