Bazzana hoping to secure Horner’s place at Airgas Safeway
Italy’s Alessandro Bazzana has revealed that his future as a professional rider depends on whether Chris Horner decides to race with Airgas Safeway in 2016.
If the veteran American and former Vuelta a Espana winner decides to retire, Bazzana will have a chance to continue his own career in the USA. If Horner continues in 2016, then Bazzana will take up a job with a component company based in Italy. Bazzana has raced with UnitedHealthcare for the last three seasons but was not retained by the US-based team for the 2016 season.

“That’s how it is. If Horner quits, then I’ve got a good chance of signing with Airgas Safeway, otherwise amen, I’ll go and get a job,” Bazzana told Tuttobiciweb.
“I fitted in well at UnitedHealthcare but things change and I’ve got to find something else. I’ve got a half promise of a place but I fear that Horner will carry on racing and so I‘ve got to look to the future.
“I dreamt of a different career but you’ve got to have the strength to accept what you have. I don’t feel like a loser, I feel like a winner. Because I realised a childhood dream. I’ve been fortunate. I’ve done what I love for 20 years and been a professional for nine years and even won a race [a stage at the Tour of Austria].
