:Giro d'Italia ::1 individual stage (2016) :Vuelta a España ::1 individual stage (2016) Gianluca Brambilla (born 22 August 1987) is an Italian professional road bicycle racer, who currently rides for UCI ProTeam . He started his professional career in 2010 with .

Career

Born in Bellano, Brambilla began his professional career in 2010 with the team, moving to in 2013. He was also a member of the Ormesani Panni and Zalf Desirèe Fior teams as an amateur, winning numerous domestic races. At the 2011 Giro d'Italia, Brambilla finished fourth in the mountains classification as well as taking a fourth place stage finish during Stage 18 to San Pellegrino Terme. Brambilla took two further top-ten places at the 2012 edition of the race, placing tenth on the seventh stage, and seventh on the eighth stage.

In September 2014, Brambilla was ejected from the Vuelta a España during the 16th stage after trading blows with Russian cyclist Ivan Rovny.

In 2016, he won Stage 8 of the Giro d'Italia, which netted him the Pink Jersey. He did so from an early breakaway. In June 2017, he was named in the startlist for the Tour de France.

In February 2021, Brambilla won the Tour des Alpes-Maritimes et du Var stage race. He had done well on the first two stages, managing to keep pace with race leaders, and was well-placed going into the third and final stage in 17th place, but only 13 seconds behind then-race leader Michael Woods. He was a part of the day's main breakaway group of 16 riders. As the breakaway began to disintegrate on the slopes of the last categorized climb, the Col de la Madone, Brambilla attacked, with only Valentin Madouas able to follow. With around 11 kilometers left, he attacked again, and this time Madouas was unable to keep up. Brambilla pushed on over the last climb, the uncategorized Col de Nice, and managed to hold on for the stage win. Despite Woods' best efforts to maintain his lead, he and Brambilla's teammate Bauke Mollema finished in a group 18 seconds behind Brambilla, giving the Italian the overall win.
