While the team Astana Kazakhstan is in the process of completely renewing its squad, with the arrival of a new sponsor (XDS, a Chinese brand, editor's note), several riders from the Kazakh team are left out. This is the case of Yevgeniy Gidich andIgor Chzhan. The two men, respectively 28 and 25 years old, therefore found a way out… on the side of the China Glory – Mentech Continental Cycling Team.

Two former Asian champions
This young team, created in 2022, will therefore welcome the two Kazakhs in 2025. Restricted to the role of teammate within the team ofAlexandre Vinokourov, Chzhan et Gidich will undoubtedly have more freedom on the Chinese side. Chzhan has already shone on the Asian continent, notably establishing itself on Asian Championships in 2022. A title that he also won Gidichin 2019.
