Luciano "Luke" Lamperti (born December 31, 2002) is an American road cyclist who currently rides for UCI WorldTeam EF Education–EasyPost.[6]
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.[7][8] In doing so, he became the youngest ever winner of the title.[9]
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.[10]
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 , who signed him for the following season on a two-year contract.[11] 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.
Lamperti switched teams to ride for EF Education–EasyPost beginning in 2026.[12]
Early life
Lamperti originally raced motocross before switching to cycling at age 11.[2]
Personal life
Lamperti's older brother, Gianni, is also a road cyclist, who won the 2019 United States National Junior Road Race Championships.[8]
