PARIS: Former Giro d’Italia winner and Olympic champion Richard Carapaz joined NSN Cycling Team on Friday, after leaving EF Education-EasyPost a year before the end of his contract.
Former Giro d'Italia champion Richard Carapaz has signed a three-year deal with NSN Cycling Team, following his departure from EF Education-EasyPost a year early. The 33-year-old Ecuadorian, who clinched the Giro d'Italia title in 2019 and secured a silver medal in the road race at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, expressed his excitement about joining the NSN team.
