Hill-hater Marco Guillén will be our definite leader on flat stages and in flat races. He won't however have a large schedule this year(only 43 race days) due to the team's large focus on climbing races.

As with Mr.Guillén he will only do something on the flatter races and as you might guess, he is purely here to help-out Guillén in the mass sprint and will also follow Guillén in all his races.

César might not got a ton of opportunites to lead the team this season due to it's many strong riders, but will be a valuable mountain support wherever he goes. Unlike Guillén and Cano, César will use almost all of his race days(73 out of 76).

Experienced Costa rican champ Marco Salas still has one year left at top level, even though he's a solid rider he will serve a domestique role for most of the time. Same role as César in other words.

Altough someone might would say we massively overpaid for this rider, I think we didn't make a bad deal. Quality is not cheap, and his nationality is a big pluss aswell. Jesús will definitly be in important part of our future team with great climbing and time-trialing abbilities combined.

Our big talent this season. Will surely be our future leader and our man to build our team around. Not only that but he can already be a decent mountain domestique at this level. Future great.

Might not be the talent Richard is but will still develop to become a great domestique. Miguel will have his preferences in the mountains and in the time-trials. A team can't only consist of leader so we are really happy with getting him for cheap.

The last out of our own riders which is not loaned out or in this season. Like Miguel he is not the talent Richard is but will still be a superior mountain domestique. Not only that but he also got great downhill for a climber.

One of our two loaned in riders this season. Max will not be capable of doing much and will most likely use most of his racedays to serve our leaders. He is actually one of the guys with most used racedays in the team aswell(83 of 85).

Our second loaned in rider this season. Maximillian is a decent puncheur with a great final kick. Although he will serve most of his time as a domestique for Nazar and Jaroslav in the hilly races. We hope he can pull of a few decent results on his own. Also he got a great spare of racedays used(70 out of 85).

Arroyo Taking the final stage in Vuelta a Burgos and wins the GC aswell


Kulhavi winning the final stage in Vuelta a Guetemala after long solo break-away and decides the GC aswell


Guillén takes his 3rd stage win in Tour de Langkawi and wins the point jersey in style!


Kulhavi and Arroyo makes it a 1-2 in Vuelta a la Comunidad de Madrid!

There were big results aswell, in a season full of podiums, but maybe not as many victories as you would have expected! For instance Arroyo had flust with podiums, mainly 3rd places, as he seemed to have a thing for those during the season! He finished 8 times on the podium this year(GC-Classic wise) with 5 of those being 3rd places.
So he delivering some solid points throughout the season while not having the really incredible season we all would've hoped for!
But the real suprise stars of the season were Guillén and Kulhavi. They weren't expected to do anything more than to maybe grabe couple of podiums and BOOM! They delivered bigtime with Guillén strongest performance being that suberp 10th place in Tour of Bulgaria, a C1 race including some tough stages including a mountain stage! He also had some couple of stage wins during the season. Guillén also podiumed in Tour d'Algerie after a break took the first 2 spots on the GC. Kulhavi also had a really, really strong season with his 2 victories top it off, 1 GC win and 1 classic win. He also managed to snag a couple of moer top 5 finishes aswell. Castano might be the one rider who we would have expected a bit more of, but with so many stars in one team, its for them all to deliver! He manages a podium in San Luis although it looked for long like he would be the winner! From the rest of the of the team we didnt get any big results, but that was to be expected. Although our lead-out sprinter Cano managed pull 1 victory after a bit to good lead-out for Guillén to handle in whatever race it was. And Schachman, our loaned in rider, managed to become national champ in Germany, after a smart break-away tactic.

If we could bag one or two of these riders for the upcoming season, we would already call our transfer season a huge succes! All these riders would be leader material in our PCT-team which also is from our preferred nations.
We realise there other options on the FA which might be slightly stronger but most of them is probably going to get a tad pricey for our taste and we rather have a much more allround team than just one superstar and the rest just being mediocre domestiques.
