Filippo Pozzato has signed a two-year deal with the Southeast team. The former Milan-San Remo winner had struggled to find a squad for 2016 but in recent months he had been linked with the Pro Continental squad Southeast. After months of speculation, Pozzato finally confirmed the news.
“Yes, I signed for two seasons with Southeast," reports La Gazzetta dello Sport.
Pozzato has spent the last three seasons at Lampre Merida but had failed to win a single race since 2013. A new squad and new environment, he is hoping, will help kickstart his career once more.

“The last two seasons have gone wrong, but if I thought I could no longer be competitive I would have quietly stepped away and started doing other things. Instead I find myself here, and perhaps motivated like never before.”
Pozzato’s last race for Lampre Merida came at the GP Fourmies, in which he crashed and broke his collarbone. Since 2013, however, Pozzato has struggled for form and results and his relationship with Lampre has suffered as a result.
"I heard that Giuseppe Saronni said I was free to do what I wanted. It made me smile when I read that, but I prefer not to talk about that, at least not now. "
