Gianluca Brambilla (born 22 August 1987) is an Italian professional road bicycle racer who rides for UCI World Tour team Quick-Step Floors.[1] He started his professional career in 2010 with Colnago–CSF Inox.[2]

Career

Born in Bellano, Brambilla began his professional career in 2010 with the Colnago–CSF Inox team, moving to Omega Pharma-Quick Step in 2013.[3] He was also a member of the Ormesani Panni and Zalf Desirèe Fior teams as an amateur, winning numerous domestic races. At the 2011 Giro d'Italia, Brambilla finished fourth in the mountains classification as well as taking a fourth place stage finish during Stage 18 to San Pellegrino Terme.[4] Brambilla took two further top-ten places at the 2012 edition of the race, placing tenth on the seventh stage,[5] and seventh on the eighth stage.[6]

In September 2014, Brambilla was ejected from the Vuelta a España during the 16th stage after trading blows with Russian cyclist Ivan Rovny.[7]

In 2016, he won Stage 8 of the Giro d'Italia, which netted him the Pink Jersey. He did so from an early breakaway.[8]
