# Pavel Sivakov

Pavel Alekseyevich Sivakov (Павел Алексеевич Сиваков; born 11 July 1997) is a French cyclist who currently rides for UCI WorldTeam UAE Team Emirates XRG. He was born in Italy to Russian parents who subsequently moved to France, and switched his sporting allegiance from Russia to France in 2022. He has six professional cycling victories including a general classification win on the UCI World Tour at the 2019 Tour de Pologne.

## Personal life

Sivakov is the son of Russian former cyclists Alexei Sivakov and Aleksandra Koliaseva. He was born in Italy, but grew up in Soueich, Haute Garonne in France. Sivakov started competing for Russia. In March 2022, he changed his cycling nationality to France, due to his opposition to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.

## Career

In August 2017 it was announced that Sivakov would turn professional with Team Sky, joining the team on a three-year contract from 2018.
In April 2019, Sivakov won Stage 2 of the Tour of the Alps, his first professional victory. He held the race lead for the rest of the race, taking overall victory by 27 seconds ahead of teammate Tao Geoghegan Hart.
In the 2019 Giro d'Italia, Sivakov finished 9th overall.
Sivakov took overall victory at the 2019 Tour de Pologne after a second place on the first mountain stage and a finish among the peloton on the final stage. Sivakov took the leader's jersey after the last stage, after previous leader Jonas Vingegaard suffered larger losses. Sivakov finished ahead of Jai Hindley of Team Sunweb on the sixth stage and overtook the Australian by two seconds, thanks to time bonuses.
