GreenEDGE Cycling is pleased to welcome Giovanni Visconti in a new and exciting role as a talent scout, starting with immediate effect.
The Italian former professional rider has a wealth of experience in the field and will enhance the team’s important “Pathway Project”, working closely alongside Alex Miles (Lead Data Scientist), and two other new recruits for 2025, Fabio Baronti and Christian Schrot amongst others.
The team’s “Pathway Project”, overviewed by Matthew White, has been growing over the past years, with GreenEDGE Cycling well invested in the development of finding and nurturing young talent.
The addition of Visconti will boost the project, with the 42-year-old three-time Italian champion bringing a new direction and approach to assist with the search for new and exciting talent, as the team look ahead to building its foundations for the next generations.
Giovanni Visconti
“I am truly proud to become part of the great GreenEDGE Cycling family. I will work within the “Pathway Project” to verify on the field the indications that come from the management, the coaches and the data scientist. Our goal is to know the young talent not only from a sporting point of view, but also from a personal, family one, also taking into consideration the environment from which they come from. For this reason, one of the characteristics of my work as a talent scout will be continuity; a constant monitoring of the athlete that will allow us to know the rider more deeply.”
Brent Copeland – General Manager
“We’re very pleased to have Giovanni join our team. We have built a strong working group focussed on the development pathway and we’re confident that Giovanni will bring a fresh new approach and perspective to boost this working group even further. As a former rider himself, he knows the ins-and-outs of cycling and how challenging the pathway to the top can be. We want to ensure young talented riders get the opportunities they deserve and aren’t left on the sideways. It is a very exciting project and we’re looking forward to start working with Giovanni.”
