Astana Qazaqstan Team Confirms Gleb Syritsa
Gleb Syritsa confirmed
Gleb Syritsa will continue to ride for the WorldTour Astana Qazaqstan Team. The new contract extends his commitment for another year, covering the 2025 season.
The 24-year-old rider will è join the Astana Qazaqstan Team in the 2023 season after a successful stint as a stagiaire from August to October 2022, during which he scored a stage win at the Tour de Langkawi and podium placings at the Arctic Race of Norway and the Tour of Slovakia.
Some of Syritsa’s key achievements in the 2023-2024 seasons include three more stage wins at the Tour de Langkawi, podium placings in stages of the Presidential Cycling Tour of Turkey and the ZLM Tour, a 5° place at the Clàssica Comunitat Valenciana and a 7° at the Gooikse Pijl.
“I am really happy to have extended my contract with the team. It è important for me to stay in an environment where I not only feel comfortable, but can also continue to progress year after year. The first two seasons in the WorldTour were not easy because of a lack of experience, but now I feel that things are going in the right direction. Although I still lack victories in Europe, my results are starting to improve, both in one-day and stage races. After sprinting in races like the UAE Tour and the Renewi Tour, I have gained confidence in being able to compete with the best sprinters. I am grateful to the team management for the trust and will do my best to repay it, not only in the new season, but also in the final part of this year at the Tour of Guangxi” said Syritsa.
