John Degenkolb has told Cyclingnews that it was the right moment in his career to leave Giant-Alpecin and move to Trek-Segafredo.
The 2015 Milan-San Remo and Paris-Roubaix winner had a mixed year this season with the first part devoted to recovering from a near career-ending traffic accident.
He found form in the second half of the year with a win in Sparkassen Münsterland Giro and second place in the Hamburg Classic. By the time those results rolled in he had already signed with Trek Segafredo, with Michael Matthews heading to Giant-Alpecin. Degenkolb’s move brought his five-year association with the team to an end.

“I was very happy with my old team and they supported me really well over the last years. They helped me to win two Monuments and ten stages in the Vuelta. That was something very special for me but progression goes on and there’s improvements everywhere. This offer from Trek was the best offer when it came to improving myself and that’s why I’ve taken that chance.”
