Welcome to the 2014 Season

Even though we're only writing 1 December 2013, the preparations for the 2014 Season has already been underway for several weeks. This will also mark the 2nd season with the EPIC organization in charge and prior to our experience with their first season, has been really successful so far

Today we also travel to the Portuguese island of Madeira for our annual training camp and here we'll get a chance to see what our squad is capable of. We already have 6 new signings ready and they will all join us after saying goodbye to their former teams. Hopefully more will join us over the break.

Our strategy is still under heavy discussion and so far our common goal has been to promote Polish Cycling in any way possible, and even though our HQ is located in Savona, Italy we will never forget our roots

The team was founded in 2000 and was then named Mat Ceresit CCC and was in the beginning just an amateur team, however the sponsors got fascinated by the cycling world and saw an great investment, and that meant the team signed professional riders and in 2002 CCC Polsat was placed in the Continental Tour.

In the teams first years polish cycling wasn't at the very top , and most of the roster came from foreign countries, now CCC Polsat risked everything by mainly focusing on Polish riders and it was a great succes as 50 % of the team now had polish riders and already in 2003 they participated in their first GT in the Giro.

For the last 10 years the team have grown bigger and polish talents have appeared out of nowhere and that is mainly thanks to CCC Polsat's hard work. The team have only taken small steps so far, but now is the time to show the world that polish cycling is one of a kind!

Hi everybody! I believe I haven't introduced myself here. My name is Albert Llanet, and I have recently signed a contract with CCC, after spending last season at Movistar. I'm 19 years old. I was born in Andorra la Vella, the capital of Andorra. At the age of 5, my dad bought my first bike. When I turned 11, I participated in the National Championships, and I won! Yes, there are not many cyclists in Andorra, but still, at only 11!

Last year, after winning it for the 8th consecutive time, Team Movistar offered me my first pro contract. The first season was mainly trial and error, as I was struggling to get some results. The team and I decided it would be better for me to spend the next season at a lower level. Then, CCC showed interest in signing me. I was immediately flattered by their offer and I didn't need long to think about it.

So, here I am. This year I hope to show myself in the mountains and in my beatiful national jersey. Last year was about learning, this year it's the real beginning...
