President of the Russian Cycling Federation Vyacheslav Ekimov says that the Russian cyclist Gléba Syritsu awaiting a tough test of the northern classic races in the Astana Qazaqstan team’s first professional season.
Syritsa played for this team as a trainee in 2022 and signed a contract with them for the next two seasons.
– Sasha Vlasov entered the top 5 of the Tour this year and this season he is preparing as captain for the Giro. And in the World Tour it will be official from this season, and no longer as trainee Gleb Syritsa.
– For Sasha, a place in the top 5 is a very good result in the Tour de France. He is a very talented rider and this season he has proven the highest level, we hope even more serious results are to come. We cheer him on.
Gleb rode as a trainee on a pro team this season and realized what it was like, how fast it was, and everything is completely different there. Next year the spring classics are waiting for him – the very Nordic ones, the hardest ones – and it will be a challenge, an examination. He’s a young man, he has a contract as a neo-professional for two years, and that allows him to adapt to new realities at new charges,” Ekimov told .
