Biography

Born on 25 October 1992, in Negrar, Italy, Formolo resides in Marano di Valpolicella, Veneto, Italy.[3][9]

He signed with Cannondale, a UCI ProTeam, for the 2014 season.[10][11]

Formolo signed with Cannondale–Garmin, a UCI WorldTeam, for the 2015 season.[12][13]

On 12 May 2015, at the Giro d'Italia, Formolo escaped with twenty riders, and successfully soloed, 14 kilometres (8.7 miles), to the finish.[14][15] He finished twenty-two seconds ahead of the peloton.[16][17] He was named in the startlist for the 2016 Vuelta a España.[18]

After two seasons with Bora–Hansgrohe, it was announced that Formolo would join UAE Team Emirates on a two-year contract from 2020.[6] In August 2020, he was named in the startlist for the 2020 Tour de France.[19] He withdrew from the race following stage 10, after he was diagnosed with a fractured collarbone following a crash.[20]
