Italian talent Gianni Moscon, 22, has already received confirmation of his program from his Sky team.

The youngster who finished second in the U23 Tour des Flandres in 2015, was Italian U23 champion the same year and has already won a stage and the general classification of the Artic Race of Norway in his first professional year in 2016.
