Pavel Sivakov
Pavel Alekseyevich Sivakov, born on July 11, 1997, is a professional cyclist of French nationality, currently competing for UCI WorldTeam UAE Team Emirates. Born in Italy to Russian former cyclists Alexei Sivakov and Aleksandra Koliaseva, he was raised in Soueich, France, and initially competed for Russia before switching his sporting nationality to France in March 2022, distancing himself from Russia due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Turning professional in 2018 with Team Sky, Sivakov quickly made his mark in the pro peloton. He achieved his first professional victory at the Tour of the Alps in April 2019, securing the overall win. That same year, he showcased his Grand Tour capabilities with a ninth-place finish at the Giro d'Italia and clinched the overall victory at the Tour de Pologne.
In the subsequent seasons, Sivakov continued to deliver strong performances. In 2022, he claimed the overall title at the Vuelta a Burgos and secured a second place at the Clásica de San Sebastián. The following year, 2023, saw him winning the Giro della Toscana and earning podium finishes at the Grand Prix Cycliste de Montréal and Coppa Sabatini, alongside top-ten finishes in several other prestigious races, underscoring his versatility and consistency.

- Van Aert is really handsome. He can influence me all day! Ditto for Philipsen. Why do you think many of us love cycling?: to see heroic attempts at climbing mountains at high altitudes or to watch speedsters sprint for the finish line or to watch a human being ride at break neck speed down a tricky descent? No, it's all about their lean physiques and muscular legs. (apologies for objectifying these dedicated and amazing athletes).BarwonHeadsUp25-10-2024
- It is unfortunate that the author can't feel the joy that Pogacar brings to the sport and his fans who are legion and I for one feel lucky to have watched such a memorable performance and historic season From the Strada until yesterday with multiple wins in stages in both tours and beyond dominance in the World's. He is proud to wear the Rainbow stripes, shows his leadership to protect his fellows and is as courteous and sportsman-like as the sport allows. He goes early to not have to respond to each attack as all the rest would make him do it. Any racer who could would do the same. Don't "grow tired" of greatness as it is always fleeting.ccrider13-10-2024
- What load of rubbish. Pog is likely a once in a generation cyclist, the like of which hasn't been seen since 'the Cannibal '. How many people were complaining that Merckx was making racing predictable? I remember this year's World RR as one of the most exciting I've watched. Mainly BECAUSE Pog was the favourite and launched what everyone thought (Pog included) was a suicidal attack with 80km to go. For the next 2 hours, I was on the edge of my seat thinking "this is too much, even for Pog". Maybe Zonnefeld prefers the snooze-fest that is a bunch sprint? Like most people I know, I can't watch two hours of the bunch riding very fast... I wait for the final 5km and watch just the sprint. In any event, most races are won from a sprint or lone break. What difference does it make who makes the lone break? Ultimately, the other contenders will have to figure out a way to beat Pog. Even if that means collaboration between teams. It's going to be an exciting few seasons, until the next Pog arrives on the scene. If this is boring, heaven knows what exciting looks like!Michael513-10-2024
- This is not a gravel race. UCI fail, from the surface they are on to team tactics. In what country was the first "gravel race" in what country is the most popular gravel race? Go with the race model that created the discipline.
Barnes127411-10-2024 - And don't forget he has now won 4 of the big 10 races (Grand tours, Monuments and WC/OG) in one year with a chance to make that 5. (5 has only been done once before)Joostmehrtens05-10-2024
