Rather discreet on the transfer window since it opened, the training EF Education-Easy Post found a great recruit in the person of Samuele Battistella. The Italian runner therefore leaves the training Astana Kazakhstann and signed with the American team for a season. The U23 world champion in 2019 had a successful 2024 season with many good results (2nd in a stage of the Tour of the Basque Country6th in a stage of Paris-Nice6e de Prueba Villafranca-Ordizia Classic).

“EF Education-Easy Post offers opportunities…”
Battistella spoke about his new team: “I have seen this team race every year since I turned professional and they have always raced the right way. They always attack, never surrender and provide opportunities to all their riders. I always feel that there is room for every rider on the team and that was very attractive to me. In modern Cycling it is difficult to find teams that give you opportunities. EF Education-EasyPost is one. of these teams.”
“The most important goal for me is to find myself again next year. In recent years I have lost myself a bit and I want to get back to winning and racing at a high level. At the same time, I want to improve and help the team and my new teammates as much as possible.” added the Italian. “Samuele is a rider we have been following for a while, and while he hasn't had a big win in recent seasons, he has certainly shown up in many races and has been incredibly consistent.”said Jonathan Vaughtersfounder and CEO ofEF Pro Cycling.
