He turned his back on the pimp, now he's gonna help his rival.

French cyclist Pavel Sivakov, of Russian descent, has left his team UAE Emirates after three years and joined Decathlon CMA CGM for the next five years. Sivakov was a key member of Tadej Pogačar’s support group during their successes at the Tour de France in 2024 and 2025. He will now assist Paul Seixas, a young French talent, in his new team. Sivakov expressed nostalgia for his time with UAE, where he helped achieve historic victories. The new team has strengthened its support structure around Seixas by adding other riders like Ben O’Connor and Laurens De Plus. While Pogačar loses a seasoned helper, he still has enough strong teammates to succeed in mountain stages.
