Italian rider Christian Scaroni (26) has extended his contract with the Astana Qazaqstan Team for the upcoming season of 2024. According to Scaroni, “My main goal in the upcoming year is to achieve a victory, and I will try to do everything possible to bring to the team at least one win. This year I had several podiums and a lot of Top-10, but I didn’t manage to win. I hope that next season everything will be much better.”
Astana Qazaqstan Team’s General Manager, Alexandr Vinokurov commented on the renewal, stating, “Christian is a strong rider with ample opportunities, first of all, in the classics and one–day races. He scored several significant results this year, however, he failed to fully reveal himself due to health problems that plagued many riders and many teams during this year. Let’s hope that everything will be different in the new season.”
Scaroni’s notable achievements in the 2023 season include finishing second in the General Classification of the Arctic Race of Norway, as well as placing in several other prestigious races.
The team will welcome several strong riders for the new season, with the aim of achieving greater success. Scaroni expressed his excitement to be a part of the team and contribute to their future triumphs.
