Fabio Aru, 24, is an Italian professional road bicycle racer capped for UCI ProTeam Astana. He joined the team midway through the 2012 season, after four years with the Palazzago domestic team in Italy.

In the 2014 Giro d'Italia, Aru won stage 15 and came third overall. In his next Grand Tour, the 2014 Vuelta a Espana, Aru won the Stage 11 summit finish atop Alto de San Miguel de Aralar, attacking the leading group with one kilometer to go. He repeated the feat on Stage 18 finishing Monte Castrove. He escaped with Chris Froome near the end of the climb and outsprinted his rival.
