Teams & Riders EOLO-Kometa

Excellent choice for Mareczko, there are few people who could teach him more about sprinting than Ivan Basso and Alberto Contador.

No Sergio Garcia?
I hoped for more spanish riders. But it looks like the team will be much more italian than spanish.

Actually, I'm wondering if the Garcia mentioned could be Sergio instead. Could be a mistake by tuttobiciweb. I also expected Garavaglia to move up to the Pro Conti team.

It's definitely a very Italian team. Considering the main sponsors, it isn't too surprising but I would have preferred a more international feeling. Maybe we will see a couple more Spaniards announced later.

I also wonder what will happen to the riders currently on the Continental team that won't make it onto the Pro Conti team, especially Diego Sevilla who has been with the project for years. Will there still be a Continental development type team?

At the moment, Mareczko needs more to learn about climbing than sprinting. What better tutors than Alberto and Ivan for that?

As long as Basso doesn't teach him about descending too he'll be all right.

Official info: Sean Yates will be new head of performance of the team.

I wonder how long it will be before Yatesie's great mate, Tour de France winner and Olympic legend Sir Wiggo joins him in some capacity at Kometa?

"I’m a new face in the team and want to become more familiar with the existing members who I don’t yet know. I'm also going to be introducing new riders to the team to complete our roster for 2021," Yates added.

Sounds like the two British riders Archibald and Christian could very well be joining.

Interesting selection of British riders. Considering Archibald is very much track and TT focused while riding on the GB scene it will be interesting to see what their Aurum TT bike is like compared to the Ribble he rides now (that he and Dan Bigham had designs input on).
Mark Christian is also intersting as he hasn't had any real eye popping results other than a top ten on a stage of the Tour of Austria a couple of years ago.

Sir Brad may have recommended MC to Yatesie.

So it is Sergio Garcia and not José Antonio. I'm happy for Sevilla that he got a place, he's been growing with the team for so many years. I think he and Viegas are greatly appreciated as domestiques.

 

[Red Rick]

Hope they get WT one day.

It would allow me to still believe in Contador winning another Tour every year years after his retirement.

SURELY THIS WILL BE THE YEAR
