Late during the transfers some last minutes moves, that were unexpected, have been made, and we're proud to present Heiko Redecker as our final full time rider that joins the team. The double Namibian national champion will be a valuable asset in sprints, but also in the hillier races we do.

Differently from last season we also have a rider joining us on loan. Greek Pangiotis Christapopoulos is obviously a Festina rider. He'll gain valuable experience at our team, being a useful rider in any race that involves a TTT, but also hilly terrain is something this guy doesn't shy away from.

To make all this possible though we had to loan out new addition Ziga Horvat, who'll race for Air New Zealand p/b Pirelli this upcoming season.

Lastly we also have a stagiare joining our ranks again in the form of Oleksandr Shevchenko. The lad is a local talent who doesn't seem to quite have the skillset to become a full time professional, however we'll be giving him a chance to prove himself this year.
