In an interview, Guglielmi stated, “I haven’t spoken with any professional cycling teams to discuss my future: only with Emmanuel Hubert, General Manager of the Arkéa-Samsic team. It was with this team, which will become ARKEA-B&B HOTELS in 2024, that I wanted to extend my professional commitment. I’ve found my equilibrium within this structure, and my racing program corresponds to my expectations, as does the status I’m accorded there.”

Guglielmi discussed his role within the team, saying, “Depending on the races I take part in, I can either be a team-mate to a leader to help him win the race, or I can play my card when the team offers me this option. This allows me to keep up my desire to fight for victory, but also to go out and achieve great performances.”

Furthermore, Guglielmi revealed that Emmanuel Hubert wants him to target specific French Cup rounds that suit his profile. Guglielmi expressed his desire to win these races and create opportunities for his teammates in return. He said, “So that my team-mates can give something back to me for the work I do for them on so many races.”
