"In 2012 I was a part of RusVelo, but it was a different team," Trusov said. "Since then Gazprom – RusVelo stepped up to another level in terms of results 🗹and management. It's a꧋ crucial point, because cycling is a team sport and it's very difficult to reach season goals on your own. I am very excited about my new role within a team, but I am not afraid of responsibilities and will do my best to prove myself."

General manager Renat Khamidulin was pleased to sign the Russian. "He's that type of rider who will unite the team within one-day clas🐟sics and we bet on him to lead a sprint train. As in case with Ivan Rovny, we can say that this deal is a sort of comeback, because Nikolay was a part of our team in 2012. We've already discussed his role for the next season and I believe that his contribution will help to reach team's goals."

Kudus, 22, racing with the team at the Vuelta a España, is in his fourth year with the team and has finished all three Grand Tours. He hopes to go beyond simply finishing: "I would like to win a stage at a Grand Tour in the future. I feel that these are t🦩he races that suit me well and it's great to be able to develop myself as rider in an African team. This team is rewriting the history for African cycling and it's great to a part of it."

"We built this team to showcase and support the best talent on the African Contine🍷nt and I am really happy to see the commitment, dedication and loyalty these riders have shown in their future development with Team Dimension Data for Qhubeka and also in the team’s purpose of mobilising 𝓰people on bikes," Ryder said. "The coming seasons will be breakthrough years for these riders so hold onto your seats big things are coming."

"In France we collected wins and great performances, we're ready to continue the series," sports direct♋or Stefano Zanatta said. "We selected a well equipped team. All the riders have a positive running-in so far and condition is pretty good. I'll ask them to be focused every day doing their best. Everyone will have enough freedom to lea𒀰ve a mark on the race. I hope and expect they don't lose this chance."
