The development team Soudal Quick-Step is strengthening for the 2025 season. The Continental team recorded the arrival of two additional riders, namely the Italian Thomas Pesenti (JCL Team Ukyo) and the Spaniard Marc Zafra (Torrent-Tadesan-Purito). The latter will discover, at only 18 years old, the third level in the world. Highly visible last year on the junior circuit, the Catalan particularly distinguished himself with his success in the online event during his national championship and thus brings back a junior national champion jersey within the Wolf Pack.

“A great opportunity” for Pesenti
For his part, Thomas Pesenti returns to Europe after a season spent with JCL Team UKYO. At 25, the Italian will bring his experience to the young development team of Soudal Quick-Step. The native of Fidenza is coming off a very good season with a 2nd place overall in the Tour of Langkawi or a top 10 overall in the Coppi and Bartali International Week. “I am very happy to have joined the Wolf Pack he explained during an interview with Bici.pro. “I signed for one year and I know it's a great opportunity. I have to think about doing my best and try to improve. I have to do what I have always done for the last two years.”
