Career

Born in Dearborn, Michigan, Warbasse currently resides in Traverse City, Michigan, United States. Warbasse is a University of Michigan graduate.[5] He was named in the start list for the 2016 Giro d'Italia,[6] but abandoned the race on Stage 6.[7]

Warbasse's career took a step forward with Aqua Blue Sport in 2017, as he won his first individual race as a professional in stage 4 of the Tour de Suisse, before capturing the pro rider classification at the United States National Road Race Championships in Knoxville, Tennessee. After Aqua Blue Sport announced that it was folding in August 2018, Warbasse was able to secure a contract with AG2R La Mondiale for the 2019 season.[8]

In 2019, Warbasse finished in the top 5 in both the US championship road race and ITT. In the 2020 Giro d'Italia, he finished 17th, a career best, just behind French teammate Aurélien Paret-Peintre; the pair were the best placed AG2R La Mondiale riders in the race.[9]
