skill wanted to reach actual highway racing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLuca performed in a very constant way during the Zwift Academy finals week, which shows that he has the right physical and mental skills to be a professional rider,\u201d stated Kristof de Kegel, efficiency supervisor at Alpecin-Deceuninck.<\/p>\n<p>Vergallito clearly sounds stoked to hitch the group.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven for someone who lives so close to the heart of professional racing, it can be very hard to get noticed by the big teams,\u201d he stated within the launch. \u201cI\u2019m so grateful that Zwift gave me a way to get noticed, and I\u2019m so excited to join the Alpecin-Deceuninck Development Team for the coming season.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_181707\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption
