Samuele Battistella

Samuele Battistella is ready to attack 2025 with EF Education-EasyPost. It’s his first season with our team and he is excited for a new challenge. Hailing from Veneto, Italy but now residing in Monaco, the 25-year-old adds versatility to our squad along with his enthusiasm and never-surrender attitude.

The Italian shot to fame in 2019, winning the rainbow jersey in the U23 World Championships road race in Yorkshire, England and has raced in the WorldTour for the last five seasons. A former winner of the Veneto Classic one-day race, Battistella is impressed by how our team takes to the start of every race determined to go for victory.

He has racked up over a dozen top tens in the last two years, with high placings in races such as the Tour de Pologne, Itzulia Basque Country and Paris-Nice. His aim is to transfer those results into podiums and wins with his new teammates. His favorite races are the Ardennes classics and the Giro d’Italia.

Samuele has just become a father and is extra motivated now to race for his family.
