Gleb Syritsa renews contract with Astana Qazaqstan Team
Gleb Syritsa will continue riding for the WorldTour team Astana Qazaqstan Team. The new contract extends his commitment for one more year, covering the 2025 season.
The 24-year-old rider joined Astana Qazaqstan Team in the 2023 season after a successful stint as a trainee from August to October 2022, during which he achieved a stage victory at Le Tour de Langkawi and podium finishes at the Arctic Race of Norway and the Tour of Slovakia.
Some of Syritsa’s key results during the 2023-2024 seasons include three more stage wins at Le Tour de Langkawi, podium places at stages of the Presidential Cycling Tour of Turkey and the ZLM Tour, a 5th place finish at the Clàssica Comunitat Valenciana, and 7th at the Gooikse Pijl.
“I’m really happy to extend my contract with the team. It’s important for me to stay in an environment where I not only feel comfortable but also continue progressing every year. The first two seasons in the WorldTour weren’t easy due to a lack of experience, but now I feel like things are moving in the right direction. Although I’m still missing victories in Europe, my results are starting to show, both in one-day races and stage races. After sprinting at the races like the UAE Tour and Renewi Tour, I’ve gained confidence that I can compete with the top sprinters. I’m grateful to the team’s management for their trust, and I’ll do my best to live up to it, not only in the new season but also in the final part of this year at the Tour of Guangxi”, – said Gleb Syritsa.
“Gleb has spent his first two years with our team at a solid level. He’s been able to help the team in various races and achieve some individual results. His progress is evident, and we are excited to see how things develop further. Sprinting is a new focus for us, but we’ve already seen significant success, including Mark Cavendish’s historic 35th stage win at the Tour de France. Gleb has integrated well into the team’s sprinting group and is gaining valuable experience in major classic races, so we expect more great results soon”, – said Alexandr Vinokurov, General Manager of Astana Qazaqstan Team.
