Alexey Lutsenko might leave Astana after 2024 in one of the most surprising moves of the year
CyclingFriday, 05 July 2024 at 07:00
The mood in Astana Qazaqstan is currently over the moon thanks to Mark Cavendish, who managed to complete his mission and won the 35th Tour de France stage in his career, becoming the sole record holder. However things are from ideal in the Kazakh formation as reports emerge that their poster rider Alexey Lutsenko might be looking to continue his career elsewhere after 2024.
According to Belgian newspaper Le Soir, Lutsenko might compete in the Israel - Premier Tech colours next year. If this transfer really happens, it would be a huge shock to the cycling audience - after all taxes, death and Lutsenko in Astana were few certainties in our lives for a long time.
Lutsenko entered the professional with Astana in 2013 after he had become the U23 World Champion in Valkenburg year earlier. The Kazakh didn't take too long before he established himself as one of the leading figures of Astana, winning 43 times in its jersey. Among his biggest triumphs we must mention Tour de France stage in 2020 and overall victories at 2.Pro stage races in Oman, Norway or in China.

- Oh, and yes: I am no psychiatrist/psychologist, but Bruyneel and Texas Turd are both sociopaths. It goes well beyond "protect my world and anyone would" that is the usual zeitgeist of their bullshit. No normal person has Bob Roll go at Greg Lemond with an audio recording device at Ron Keifel's bike shop...for example.EricJensenRidesBikes26-12-2024
- Funnier: this website keeps giving credo to their ramblings. In this case, why in any possible way would Boonen want to create a fantasy world to attach himself to these two clowns when more likely he would want to forget he was even there? Laughable.EricJensenRidesBikes26-12-2024
- A sociopath is an informal term used to describe someone with antisocial personality disorder (ASPD), a mental health condition characterized by a chronic pattern of disregard for social norms, laws, and the rights and feelings of others.EricJensenRidesBikes26-12-2024
- Rowe spent his whole career on one team being nothing more than a thug for Skyneos. I have no idea why another team would want import this type of person into their program.Sweep26-12-2024

- yeah, that’s a more fair assessment. “reaching mathieu’s level” doesn’t mean you’re planning to replicate his whole career. the former IS doable, potentially. it’s just the latter that likely is not.OCexile25-12-2024
- That’s not entirely true. Every person follows their own development path and peaks differently. Remco and Primoz had hardly started cycling before elite level. Jonas was pretty much under the radzr until he unexpectedly had to take over responsibility at JV. Some guys only get real good in their thirties others have peaked mid-twenties. You can’t tell in advance how and upto what level they will progress, obviously his career might not have MVDPs length but nothing says he could not end up doing a few seasons at his level.Mistermaumau25-12-2024
- well, del grosso is 21 right now. when mathieu was a year younger than that, he was already winning elite level world championships, not U23. i think del grosso will be a very good pro for years, but if he was really going to be the next van der poel someday, he’d already have to be at that level right NOW. van der poel was showing signs of true greatness when he was 15-16. THAT’S what generational talent looks like.OCexile25-12-2024
- Yeah.... gear 😅.mikolajjj24-12-2024
- It shouldn’t be about expectations in the first place should it? Besides, if you look at everyone’s calculations as a whole they don’t add up in the first place. There’ll be 2-3 riders with a 50% chance, a dozen with 10 or 20% and dozens more with a 5% so we’re expecting at least 2 if not 3 winners. Remind me again who won before her? Says it all about using data to decide on participation.Mistermaumau24-12-2024
