Astana Qazaqstan Team seek success as Mark Cavendish and Alexey Lutsenko head towards Giro di Sicilia
CyclingTuesday, 11 April 2023 at 11:54
The Giro di Sicilia is far from the most reputable race of the spring but it will feature a few World Tour teams. One of them is Astana Qazaqstan Team who seek their second win of the season, taking both Mark Cavendish and Alexey Lutsenko in pursuit of success.
Simone Velasco took the team's only win of the season from a breakaway at the Volta a Valenciana, but the Kazakh squad has largely been absent from the action, drifting away from their World Tour future as they fail to score meaningful points for the opening four months of the season. Mark Cavendish has recently finished third at Scheldeprijs giving some glimpse of hope, and before he heads to the Giro d'Italia he seeks to take his first win with the team here.
Alexey Lutsenko, the team's other leader also comes in looking for the overall classification where he will be one of the favourites. The team feature support from Manuele Boaro, Davide Martinelli, Gianmarco Garofoli, Gleb Brussenskiy and Martín Lopez.
Astana Qazaqstan Team for Giro di Sicilia: Mark Cavendish, Alexey Lutsenko, Manuele Boaro, Davide Martinelli, Gianmarco Garofoli, Gleb Brussenksiy and Martín Lopez.

- 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
- Ok, happy I’m not too interested in this team coz’ the account of what happened is really hard to follow.Mistermaumau24-12-2024

- It's not like they wanted her to not win😅 She had an outstanding Olympics. But there's a reason why she wasn't expected to win the road race and that's ok. Things like this happen and it's great...better than seeing expected winners win.Veganpotter24-12-2024
