Carapaz completed his transfer to NSN Cycling Team on Friday, committing to a three-year deal with the continental outfit. The 31-year-old Ecuadorian cyclist departs EF Education-EasyPost with approximately one year remaining on his previous contract.
The accomplished stage racer brings significant pedigree to NSN, having claimed victory in the 2019 Giro d'Italia and captured Olympic gold in the road race at the Tokyo Games. His career has established him as one of South America's premier cycling talents, with multiple Grand Tour stage victories and podium finishes across major competitions.
The timing of Carapaz's departure from EF Education-EasyPost marks a significant restructuring of his racing programme as he enters a new chapter with NSN Cycling. The team's acquisition of such a high-profile rider signals ambitions to elevate its competitive standing in international cycling.
Carapaz is expected to lead NSN's charge in upcoming Grand Tour competitions and stage racing events during his tenure with the team.
