I am sure that Astana is the ideal team for me, and I think that I will be able to make a great progress here. I am ready to work hard, I am ready to gain experience at the highest level in order to become a true professional," said Umba in press release.
Umba got some notable results at U23 level, winning stages at Tour Alsace and Le Tour de Savoie in 2021 and finishing 10th overall at the Giro Next Gen 2023. Alongside, the rider got some valuable experience in the professional races such as Il Lombardia, Tour of the Alps ot Giro dell’Emilia.

- “During a TT, I am basically blind”. That was his quote after crashing into the barriers in a TT. The problem isn’t the UCI, radios or air bags. The problem is the riders and their teams.JoeyB22-12-2024
- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
