So far, Alberto Bettiol looks back at a turbulent season, with both ups (National road title, several smaller victories) and downs (cramping out of the battle for Dwars door Vlaanderen victory, anonymous Tour de France).
Regardless, it appears that Astana Qazaqstan, who are very active on this year's transfer market, liked what they saw from the Italian all-rounder and according to Gazzetta dello Sport approached the 30-year-old with a very generous financial offer to change colours for 2025.
Bettiol is currently in his sixth year with EF Education-EasyPost, where he had won the Tour of Flanders in 2019. Two years later, he added a Giro d'Italia stage 18 with finish in Stradella.
While Bettiol already enjoys a lot of freedom to chase results in EF, in Astana he'd become the team's sole leader for classics (unless another high-profile signing takes place) as Astana has been mostly invisible in spring races in last years, bar few solid rides from Alexey Lutsenko (leaving the team) and the occasional surge of Yevgeniy Fedorov at Paris-Roubaix.
