News: Charlie Quarterman joins Trek-Segafredo

Charlie Quarterman, current U23 British TT champion, riding for Holdsworth-Zappi, will join Trek-Segafredo as a stagiaire for the remainder of the season and as an effective rider for the 2020 and 2021 seasons.

Quarterman, 20, will start with Trek-Segafredo next weekend in the Brussels Cycling Classic and the GP Fourmies/La Voix du Nord: “I’m unbelievably happy with this move. Although I know this is where the real hard work starts, it’s an absolute dream of mine to join a team like Trek-Segafredo, so I can’t wait to get my first races with them under my belt. I’m hoping to make a name for myself as a TT specialist and to learn the trade in the top Classics in the world. It’s hard to predict how I will perform in the first races, but I’m aiming to repay the team for its belief in me with work for others and by taking some strong results for myself!”

Josu Larrazabal, Head of Performance at Trek-Segafredo: “Great Britain being a strong nation of time trialists, the U23 TT championship is a race with a real battle of specialists. If you can win it, that means something. He is a time trialist and just like every other TT-specialist, Charlie is also a strong rider that can play an essential role in the Classics and other one-day races. In the younger categories, he had some excellent results in these kinds of races, and we cannot wait to see how far he can go in one-day races at the professional level.

Right now, he’s preparing for the U23 World Championships, so the team wanted to grant him the opportunity to compete in a few one-day races at the end of the season to allow him to prepare really well for his biggest goal of the current season.”
