“This season has been full of remarkable events and victories, and my recent success at the Tour de l’Avenir has been a significant milestone, highlighting a successful year. I would like to thank my current team, MBH bank-Colpack-Ballan-CSB, with whom I spent three amazing years, achieving high results and proving myself at a high level. I believe this is one of the best teams in Italy on a national level, and together with them, I was able to achieve results that allowed me to take this big step in my career – joining the renowned Astana Qazaqstan Team. I am truly excited to join this team; it’s a special moment for me. I had a dream of joining the WorldTour, and now that dream is coming true. Next season, the team is undergoing changes, and I know that big goals are being set ahead, and I am 100% ready to work hard and give my best effort. I know it will be tough, but I will do everything possible to achieve success in the end. Next year, I am ready to give my all for the team, its leaders, and the team’s goals, while also gaining experience to achieve high results for myself”, – said Florian Samuel Kajamini.
“Florian is having an outstanding season at the youth level. He performed very well in both the Giro and the Tour de l’Avenir, where he showed himself as a strong attacking rider. His results this year speak for themselves, and his move to the WorldTour is well-deserved. I am glad that Florian will take his first steps as a professional in our team. I believe that in Astana Qazaqstan Team he has every chance to fully realize his potential”, – said Alexandr Vinokurov, General Manager of Astana Qazaqstan Team.
