Biography
Luciano "Luke" Lamperti (born December 31, 2002) is an American road cyclist who currently rides for UCI WorldTeam Soudal–Quick-Step.
On June 18, 2021, at the age of 18, Lamperti avoided several crashes in the final lap to take a surprise victory at the United States National Criterium Championships in Knoxville, Tennessee. In doing so, he became the youngest ever winner of the title.
He competed in the under-23 road race at the 2021 UCI Road World Championships, where he originally finished 10th, but was disqualified afterwards by the UCI jury due to allegedly causing a Belgian rider to crash earlier in the race.
Lamperti had a successful 2023 season, winning the National Criterium Championships a second time as well as the Rutland–Melton CiCLE Classic and three stages of the Tour of Japan among other races. These results caught the attention of UCI WorldTeam Soudal–Quick-Step, who signed him for the following season on a two-year contract. In his first race with the team, he finished third at the Trofeo Ses Salines-Felanitx, followed up by a second place at the Muscat Classic two weeks later.
