Matteo Trentin has signed up with UAE Team Emirates for 2021, strengthening an Italian core at the team formerly known as Lampre. After a tough 2020 season at the now defunct CCC Team, he's set to build his season around familiar goals.

The 31-year-old, who was briefly partnered with Greg Van Avermaet last season, moves on to a co-leadership at the cobbled Classics with 2015 Tour of Flanders winner Alexander Kristoff, while a bid to capture the rainbow jersey at the Worlds in Belgium is also top of the agenda.
