Ulissi extends with Lampre-Merida
Diego Ulissi has finally sorted out his plans for 2016, signing a one-year contract extension with Lampre-Merida. The four-time Giro d'Italia stage winner sat down with team manager Brent Copeland last week during the Abu Dhabi Tour to finalise the agreement.
"I declared many times that I always conceive my future in blue-fuchsia-green colors and, being aware of the consideration for me from the team and the sponsors, the contract renewal was very easy to achieve," said Ulissi in a team statement.

"I'm aware of the fact that the team trust in me as they always demonstrated, going along with me in my professional path. I'm sure I'll be able to gratify those who support me by achieving top results".
Ulissi has been with the Italian team since turning pro in 2010. This year he won the Memorial Marco Pantani this year, along with stage 7 of the Giro - his first victory since returning from a ban for a positive test for Salbutamol at the previous edition of the race.
"Diego Ulissi is tightly linked with our group, we supported him since he was very young. It's such a good thing to have the opportunity to add another step to the common story, especially because Diego is a pure talent and we consider that he'll be able to obtain top level victories," said Copeland.
