MATTEO MILAN
“My career began at the age of 5, thanks to my father. My journey has been full of ups and downs, as I wasn’t quite sure what kind of rider I wanted to become. But this year, I found clarity: I want to be a sprinter. I chose to join the big Groupama-FDJ family because, from the very first conversations, they showed genuine interest and great confidence in me. I’m grateful to begin this new chapter of my life with them. The team has supported me from the start, and above all, we share the same vision for my development: to progress, to grow, and to find satisfaction in the work we do. I hope the first few months will allow me to adapt to the WorldTour level, to find my rhythm, and maybe even achieve some good results. I can’t wait to start this new adventure.“

Matteo is a determined young man who has taken the time to understand himself and define what he wants to become. Today, he joins us with a clear ambition: to become a sprinter. It’s a thoughtful and deliberate approach that we deeply respect and are fully committed to supporting. What also impressed us is his maturity. He’s not looking to rush things, but rather to learn, to grow, and to commit to a long-term process. He will benefit from a stable environment, strong guidance, and a united team around him to help him reach new milestones. This is the beginning of an adventure we want to build together with patience, ambition, and high standards.“
