Our colleague Daniel Benson announced that the team Astana Kazakhstan Team will collaborate next year with the former professional runner Alex Dowsettas a performance engineer. With the 36-year-old Briton, who ends his career at the end of 2022, the Kazakh team hopes to exploit his expertise to progress in crucial areas like aerodynamics and various other marginal gains. In great difficulty and in the midst of a fight to avoid relegation from WorldTour next year, the recently retired team Mark Cavendish is doing all it can to get back to the top, recruiting no less than 12 new riders for the 2025 season, including Alberto Bettiol, Wout Poelsor Clement Champoussin.
