“Every time I start a new season I start thinking about the next one, because my life is cycling. For this season we have a very good team, a group that mixes talented youth and experience, with three riders who come from racing on the World Tour, who arrive in good physical condition, with their experience and their mileage to compete with them in the great races in Colombia,” said manager Raúl Mesa.
And he added: “That is our hope, our wish, that they come back and give us triumphs.”
The squad was presented at the Café de Rigo in Las Palmas, where Eliana Ospina, representative of the EPM Group, and Jorge Villegas, SCOTT marketing manager, were present.
