Jacopo Mosca may not have a professional contract just yet but the 23-year-old Italian is certainly making a name for himself at the Tour of Britain with a top ten place overall in his grasp with one stage remaining.
Mosca was handed a place as a stagiaire on the American-registered Trek-Segafredo team during the summer and made his debut at the Tour of Utah in August.
At the Tour of Britain he infiltrated the early break on the crucial second stage and finished in the top ten even when the GC riders made it across in the finale. That result set him up for the GC and he has remained in the top ten ever since.

“It’s been a really good experience and I’m really thankful to the team,” Mosca told Cyclingnews at the start of the final stage.
“It’s a really unexpected result because I came here with the aim of trying to help the team. After the second stage I was in the GC and since the team have really supported me.”
Mosca rides for the Viris Maserati team in Italy but was invited in by Trek Segafredo for a test. From there the young rider’s summer campaign has gone from strength to strength.
