This season, he has already gained experience racing with the Bahrain Victorious WorldTour team in various events, including the Tour de la Provence—where he made a seasonal debut with a top-ten placement—, the Tour de Wallonie, and various one-day races such as Grand Prix Criquielion, Grote Prijs Jean-Pierre Monseré, Danilith Nokere Koerse, De Brabantse Pijl, and Boucles de l'Aulne.

His talent has also been recognized by the Italian National Team, which selected him to participate in both the U23 time trial and U23 road race at the World Championships in Rwanda.

Alessandro Borgo shared his enthusiasm for joining the WorldTour team: "I am grateful to be joining the WorldTour Team. It's a dream I've had since childhood, and now it has come true. However, as I always say, this is not an endpoint, but a starting point, because I have big ambitions and will work hard to achieve important goals with the team in the coming years. I am determined to succeed and thankful to all the people who have supported me—my family, friends, and all the teams I've ridden for while growing up through the junior categories. If I become a professional today, it is not just my own merit, but also that of everyone who has supported and accompanied me along the way".
