Taylor Phinney

i66.tinypic.com/dwf05z.jpg

The 25-year-old is the first signing of HTC-HighRoad for 2016 season. He will join our squad for the next two seasons

He has been riding for BMC Racing Team the last 5 season, since he became a pro rider after being stagiere for RadioShack in 2010

After winning the 2011 Eneco Tour prologue, and finishing forth overall, in 2012 he made his breakthrough season, winning Giro d'Italia prologue, and leading the race three days. He impressed in the Olympics, by finishing forth in both Road and Time Trial races. But maybe his most important result of the season was the silver medal in UCI ITT World Championship, being just six seconds shy of Golden Tony Martin.

In 2013 he could just finish fifth in the ITT Worlds. Earlier that season he won a stage in Tour de Pologne

But all wasn't going to be success. Just after being crowned as Usa ITT Champion, he crashed in the Road Race, heavily injuring his knee and tibia.

Today, he has returned to racing in Tour of Utah, taking an increible third place in today's stage, after having not raced for more than a year

In this team we think that he has the potential to return to his best level. His season goals will be the cobbled classics, before taking part in the Tour de France. In the last part of the season, he will focus on ITT Worlds

The current Trek rider, where he has been riding for in his 3 years as pro rider, is a powerful rider, who can perform in all terrains. In the recent Tour de France he did an impressive race, being several times in mountain breakaway


Brent Bookwalter

i66.tinypic.com/2gxim80.jpg

HTC-HighRoad welcomes 31-year-old Brent Bookwalter. The American rider joins the team for 2016 season, as a rider who can perform well enough in mountain to be a good helper for the leaders.

Until now, he's been a one-team rider, as since he turned pro in 2008, he has been riding for BMC Racing Team.

He only have one win as pro rider, in the first stage of 2013 Tour of Qatar.
This year he finished forth in Tour of Austria, and recently has ended third in Tour of Utah

In his last season with Andalucia before joining Euskaltel-Euskadi, he won a stage in Qinghai Lake.
With Euskaltel he rode Tour de France, finishing in top5 in stage 6. After that he won again Circuito de Getxo.

When he moved to Movistar for 2014 season, he surprise everybody by finishing forth in Milano-San Remo. He also won stages in Wallonie and Burgos. His last wins were in this year's Vuelta a Andalucia, after winning two stages.

In which manner did you edit the riders? and did you really base it on the EP with stats under 60? Shock

However great signings, especially Costa will go mental...Let's see where JJ performs better, in your or in my team Pfft

I have checked it, and the original DB was 2015 EP V1.
In my DB, the worst rider has a AVG of 56, and every single rider who has a contract with any team, at least has 60 of AVG.

For example, best riders in MON have 84 (Froome and Quintana), in VAL Valverde and Martin have 81. In TT Dumoulin has 82. In SPR Kittel has 83, Cav and Greipel 82

ah okay, thank you Smile looking forward to see the next signings!
