Matteo Trentin
Matteo Trentin (born 2 August 1989) is an Italian professional cyclist, who rides for UCI ProTeam Tudor Pro Cycling Team. Having initially started his career in cyclo-cross, Trentin has competed more prominently in road bicycle racing, having taken more than thirty professional victories – including eight stage wins across the three Grand Tours, victories at Paris–Tours in 2015, 2017 and 2025, and he won the road race at the 2018 European Road Cycling Championships in Glasgow.
Born in Borgo Valsugana, Trentin first competed as a junior for the Moro Scott Bicycle Line Spercenigo team. In 2007, Trentin was given a two-month suspension, following a positive test for salbutamol recorded the previous year at a UCI Cyclo-cross World Cup event. He joined Marchiol–Pasta Montegrappa–Orogildo in 2010, where he won the opening stage of the Giro del Friuli-Venezia Giulia from a breakaway. The following year, Trentin joined the Brilla–Pasta Montegrappa team, winning the Gran Premio della Liberazione, the Trofeo Alcide De Gasperi, and the under-23 Italian National Road Race Championships.
Having initially been announced to ride as a stagiaire in the second half of the 2011 season, Trentin turned professional that August with Quick-Step, making his first start with the team at the Eneco Tour. In his first full season with the team in 2012, Trentin finished second on the penultimate stage of the Volta ao Algarve, having led out teammate Gerald Ciolek to an eventual stage victory. The following year, he fractured his right scaphoid bone at the start of the 2013 season following a fall during Omloop Het Nieuwsblad, leaving him out of competition for two months. Trentin took his maiden professional victory that July at the Tour de France, winning stage 14 in Lyon, following a sprint against his breakaway counterparts.
In June 2014, Trentin won a stage of the Tour de Suisse, following a lead-out from teammate Tony Martin, who was the race leader at the time. A month later, he took a prestigious victory on Stage 7 of the Tour de France, where he won the sprint by a few centimetres over Peter Sagan.
During the 2015 cobbled classics, Trentin took his first podium finish when he finished in third place at E3 Harelbeke, winning the main sprint behind Geraint Thomas and teammate Zdeněk Štybar. In August, he won two stages and the points classification at the Tour du Poitou-Charentes, and followed this with a stage win at the Tour of Britain the following month. He recorded podium finishes in Italian races either side of the UCI Road World Championships, with third at the Coppa Bernocchi, and second in Gran Piemonte, before concluding his season with victory in Paris–Tours. At Paris–Tours, Trentin won the race in a record speed for a professional race over 200 kilometres (120 miles) in length, thus becoming the new Ruban Jaune.
Trentin recorded his first top-ten finish in one of the cycling monuments in 2016, when he finished as part of the lead group – in tenth place – at Milan–San Remo. In May, he won stage 18 of the Giro d'Italia from the breakaway, usurping Moreno Moser and teammate Gianluca Brambilla before the finish line in Pinerolo, having bridged over from a chasing group in the closing kilometres. He then won a stage and the points classification at the Tour de Wallonie in July, and then repeated the feat the following month, at the Tour de l'Ain.
Having taken top-five placings at both the Trofeo Laigueglia (fourth), and Kuurne–Brussels–Kuurne (fifth), Trentin's first victory of the 2017 season did not come until early August, when he won the second stage of the Vuelta a Burgos on his birthday. At the Vuelta a España, Trentin led home the peloton on the first sprint stage, on day two – behind teammate Yves Lampaert, who had soloed clear with a kilometre remaining. Two stages later, he won the sprint into Tarragona, and as a result, became the 100th rider to win stages at each of the three Grand Tours. He added further stage victories on stages 10, 13, and 21, but he missed out on the green points classification jersey to overall race winner Chris Froome, who had sprinted for 11th place on the final day to retain the jersey. Following the Vuelta a España, Trentin took further victories – both from late attacks – at the Grand Prix Impanis-Van Petegem, and Paris–Tours. He also finished in second place at Binche–Chimay–Binche, and fourth place in the road race at the UCI Road World Championships in Norway.
In August 2017, it was announced that Trentin was joining Orica–Scott – later renamed as Mitchelton–Scott – from the 2018 season, on a two-year contract.
