What a rough year 2015 has been for the newborn greek team. We couldn't achieve any of our season goals, our key riders were rarely useful, and we finished in the bottom of the Continental Tour, in 23rd place. But our few wins and great stages might have convinced our sponsors : all of them have a signed for an other year with the team leaded by Juan Carlos Rienda and Jaroslav Kulhavy. We're now looking for better days, after being close to disbandment. On this idea, we hired a new designer, Metà. Well known in France but less overseas, our shirtmaker prepared a beautiful shirt, that will be easily findable in the peloton. Our plans for 2016 ? Refreshing the roster by getting rid of our disapointing riders like Christos Volikakis, and trying to race better while keeping our nationalist recruitment politic.

Thanks all for the kind comments on the shirts Grin

Elta's 2016 Renewals


We had quite easy renewals this year : everything was OK after the first round of talks. After their good 2015 season, our leaders Ilias, Kulhavy and Rienda accepted to sign for an other year, with relatively small upgrades of wage. We keep a similar team after the renewals period, even if we decided to release 4 riders : Ioannis Tamouridis was becoming too old, and Volikakis, Efstathiou and Skettos didn't match our "climbing requirements". Elta-Hellenic Post now has 14 riders, we will hopefully fill the free spaces with useful riders for 2016 !

On this table (based on Roman's one Wink ), you can find all the information about our renewals, and the availability of our riders Smile

Thanks to roturn for the presentations Wink


Band 1


Acropolis CupGreece2
Tour of BulgariaBulgaria5
Geraardsbergen-BosbergBelgium2
GP YekaterinburgRussia2
Barcelona ClassicSpain2
Tour de PolognePoland7

Acropolis Cup, Yekaterinburg and Pologne remains in this band. The Geraardsbergen-Bosberg Classic moves over to this band while both Bulgaria and Barcelona dropped from C1 category.

A lot of hills and also mountains in this band, while also the cobblers and sprinters get a bit.

Band 3


La Tropicale Amissa BongoAlgeria/Gabon6
Tatranska KlasikaSlovakia2
Tour de LangkawiMalaysia10
Zuri MetzgeteSwitzerland2

Exactly the same band as in 2015. No changes at all.

Ruta America del Sur is a sprinters dream despite some uphill sections. Langkawi also offers many pan flat sprinter stages while the climbers make the GC on 2 days.
Tatranska is one hell of a mountain classic while Zuri Metzgete brings the interest to the puncheur teams as well.

Band 4


Benelux ChallengeBenelux6
Sachsen-Anhalt ClassicGermany2
San Marino Hill ClassicSan Marino2
USA Pro Cycling ChallengeUSA8
Busan GPSouth Korea2

USA Pro Cycling Challenge and Benelux Challenge are back in this band. First offers a tough mountain route as also a time trial for the stage racers while later is for the tough riders over hills and cobbles.

Then a nice variety of terrains. The new Busan GP is for the sprinters in South Korea. Also new on the calendar the Sachsen-Anhalt classic which leads over lots of cobbled sections. For the puncheurs there is the difficult San Marino Hill Classic.

In total all but the climbers should be happy with this band.

First signing : Nikolaos Ioannidis

We signed our 15th rider today : Nikolaos Ioannidis ! He brings us some fresh air in the greek area, and he should become useful as we are expecting a big signing in the upcoming hours...

They are leaving : Aleksei Saramotins and Clive Ebejer

c3.staticflickr.com/6/5056/5486795322_73a196ab9f_z.jpg

The Latvian TT champion Saramotins and the only active maltese cyclist in the Man-Game Clive Ebejer left Greece and Elta-Hellenic Post. Good luck to them at Vivacom - Datamap, the new bulgarian team !


----------------------------


A top gun : Emanuele Sella

c7.staticflickr.com/5/4023/4481808438_3eff8890d6_z.jpg

The Man-Game world went crazy for a few minutes after the deal made with Shimano - Siam Cement became public. Emanuele Sella, 35, agreed for probably one his last challenges : helping a team to promote from CT. He'll be for sure one of the top contenders in the Continental division this year.

Coming on loan : Alexander Foliforov

c3.staticflickr.com/8/7486/27158049986_1239896c0a_z.jpg

We didn't achieve to loan in Shalunov with Foliforov, but we still have a nice domestique for mountain stages ! He also have a very nice endurance that should be really useful while working for Sella. He seems to have an attacking temperament, and we like that !

@ivaneurope : I'm looking forward to see what your team will look like Grin

Hopefully better than Volikakis : Armindo Fonseca

c4.staticflickr.com/8/7526/26716979523_132a0d3485_z.jpg

After signing our climbing leader, we found our new main sprinter with the frenchman Armindo Fonseca ! Coming from Vontobel in PCT, he proved to be a great sprinter despite limited climbing abilities. He was the 5th best sprinter as the great Tour of America ! He'll probably get us a few wins in 2016.

Goodbye to Simantirakis and G.Bouglas

c1.staticflickr.com/3/2941/15408249736_8eda6d0c24_c.jpg

Sadly, 2 riders had to leave the team because of salary cap problems. Georgios Bouglas (picture) is going for free at the World Cycling Centre, while Vasileios Simantirakis is forced to become a free agent. Maybe an end to his career, as he's 37 years old.


----------------------------


Haijun Ma joins the team !

mtbs.cz/media/foto/98/img6849ms_silnice07_ggalm13.jpg

The time trial flash sales from Jayco'z Cycling Project attracted us, and we managed to make a 400k deal for the chinese rider Haijun Ma. He might not have superb climbing abilities, but he should deliver points on the time trials we will race. Next to Sakellaridis (75 TT) and Katrakis (73 TT), it's a great trio we have from Team Time Trials too. We are at 15 riders now, the minimum CT limit.

Fonseca won us two stages in our 2014 CT season. He's pretty much a reliable yougetwhatyousee kind of sprinter still able to perform. But don't know if he can score victories as CT-competition seems to get harder every year.
Anyway, good luck for the season!
