Pavel Sivakov signs for UAE Team Emirates
Emirati squad welcomes French rider on 3-year deal
Pavel Sivakov has put pen to paper on a new contract to join UAE Team Emirates as part of a three year deal which will see him with the squad through to the end of 2026.
The 26 year-old climbing specialist holds 4 professional victories to his name among them the overall title at the Tour of Poland in 2019 and more recently the Vuelta Burgos in 2022. His climbing talents will no doubt reinforce the teams GC ambitions in races going forward.
Pavel Sivakov : “I’m really excited to join UAE Team Emirates next year. It’s going to open up a new chapter in my career after the past 6 years at Ineos. For sure it’s going to be a big change for me but I’m really looking forward to joining the UAE project. I’ve been seeing how the team has been developing over the years and I ‘m happy to become part of the that, both to try and win races and to help to win races.”
Mauro Gianetti (Team Principal & CEO): “We are very pleased to welcome Pavel into our team for the coming years. He’s shown his ability both as a winner and as a worker and we feel he can slot in well to our team. He is still young with margin for progression but also holds experience at the top level so we are confident to see the best of him over the next years with us.”
