Andrii Ponomar has signed a contract with Arkéa-Samsic and is ready to make his WorldTour debut next season. He comes from Drone Hopper-Androni Giocattoli.
“Signing for the Arkéa-Samsic team is a great moment for me because I am joining a UCI WorldTour formation,” Ponomar said. He continues, “This will indeed give me the opportunity, from 2023, to discover some of the major races on the professional calendar. I will probably ride races at a lower level next season, but I do think I will be able to get podium places and also win races."
Team manager Emmanuel Hubert explains his reasoning for choosing the Ukrainian youngster. “Andrii Ponomar is one of the hopefuls of professional cycling. He has already distinguished himself in Brittany, notably on the Center Morbihan Trophy, winning a stage during the 2019 edition. he was also crowned European champion in this age category. In addition to his great potential as a rider, he is also a very beautiful and powerful person," concluded Hubert.
This year Ponomar's story has gained further notoriety as his home city of Chernihiv was for weeks at the center of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Although in a safer position at the moment, the 20-year continues the carry the flag of the European nation.

- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024

- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
