After a promising 2020 season dissolved into disappointment due to a broken wrist midway through the Tour de France, Bauke Mollema is determined that this year's campaign turns out differently. His 2021 season will be built around the Giro d'Italia-Tour de France double, offering more opportunities for success after the disrupted season gone by.

The Dutchman will team up with fellow Grand Tour veteran Vincenzo Nibali at both races, the pair sharing leadership duties for Trek-Segafredo as Giulio Ciccone takes the opportunity to lead at the Vuelta a España.
