Giacomo Nizzolo (born 30 January 1989) is an Italian racing cyclist, who currently rides for UCI WorldTeam Team Qhubeka NextHash.[3]
Career[]
Leopard Trek (2011–2018)[]
Nizzolo took his first win at UCI World Tour level in August 2012, on stage 5 of the Eneco Tour. He launched his sprint 300 m (980 ft) away from the finish, and was almost passed on the line by Jürgen Roelandts (Lotto–Belisol), who thought he had won, but the photo-finish would prove that Nizzolo was the victor.[4]
He won the Points classification in the Giro d'Italia two years in a row in 2015 and 2016 without a stage win.
In 2018 Nizzolo was named as a rider in the Vuelta a España, he finished on a podium on 3 different stages.
Dimension Data[]
Nizzolo signed a two-year contract with Team Dimension Data on 21 September 2018; this marked the first time Nizzolo had changed teams in his professional career.[5] In July 2019, he was named in the startlist for the 2019 Tour de France.[6]
