Christian Scaroni stays with Astana Qazaqstan Team

Joining Astana Qazaqstan Team in late July 2022, Scaroni has shown himself to be an active and attacking rider, amassing a collection of podium finishes and Top-10 results. Among his key achievements are several stage podiums and second place overall in the Arctic Race of Norway (2023), 4th place in the Trofeo Laigueglia (2024), 7th place in the Coppa Bernocchi (2022, 2023), and 8th place in the WorldTour race Cadel Evans Great Ocean Road Race (2024).

“In a few days, I will start the Arctic Race of Norway, which I really like. Last year, I finished second overall, coming very close to victory but I couldn’t win. In fact, these two and a half years with the team have been very good, my level has significantly improved, and I’ve gained a lot of experience that is gradually translating into good results. The progress is evident, and all that’s missing is a victory. But I hope the victory will come soon. The team is also growing, evolving, and changing, and I’m happy to be part of this project. This is the place where I can continue to work, improve, and achieve success. I hope to have a strong second half of the season and then perform at a high-level next year. For now, I will focus on the race in Norway”, said Christian Scaroni.

“Despite not having won yet, Christian Scaroni is one of the most consistent riders on the team. Christian is a very active rider, attacking a lot, always trying to be at the front. So, I think at some point everything will come together and victories will come. Riders like Christian are important for the team, so I’m glad we agreed to extend the contract for another two seasons. There is a lot of work ahead, with set goals that we will strive to achieve”, said Alexandr Vinokurov, General Manager of Astana Qazaqstan Team.
