We have signed Cameron Meyer to be our lead sprinter. The Australian's finest results came at PT level as he won multiple Vuelta stages in his Wikipedia days, and we hope he can replicate that form here.
Three loanees also arrive, with Kiflay and Okbamariam arriving from Eritel and Barbari from La Poste. All three will spend the season with us to aid their development, and help us stick to our philosophy of developing African riders and African cycling as a whole.
Finally we have also signed two extra Kenyans. Salem Kemboi is an exciting sprinter and prologue rider who in the future could become a leader of the team. For this year he will spend the season out on loan at Eritel - Sonatrach to help him develop. Promising climber Joseph Kimathi also signs as a stagiare.
