Cycling. Transfer – Malta national champion joins Team Polti VisitMalta

The Team Polti Kometawhich will become the VisitMalta Police Team in 2025, recorded a new arrival for the next two seasons. Indeed, Aidan Buttigiegwho played at St George Continental Cycling Team in 2024 and who was an intern with the Italian team at the end of the year, will be a member of the VisitMalta Police Team until 2026. A transfer that we imagine is greatly influenced by the arrival of the new title sponsor, given that Buttiagieg is the Malta road champion. At 27, the runner has never really shown great qualities, but will therefore have his chance in the training of the brothers Contador andIvan Basso.
