We can exclusively reveal that Alex Dowsett has joined Astana Qazaqstan full-time as the team’s Performance Engineer, having already helped the team at various points in the year. This is a new role has been created specifically for Dowsett’s expertise.

The six-time national time trial champion and two-time stage winner at the Giro d’Italia retired at the end of the 2022 season. Viewed as one of the most educated pros when it came to aerodynamics and marginal tech gains, the 36-year-old confirmed the news in a short interview with us at the London 3 Day at the end of October. The official news will be confirmed by Astana later this week.
