Daniel Lima is leaving the devo team for pastures new, Bourg en Bresse to be precise.
A bit sad, but he hadn't produced the results the past few years to warrant a move upwards and probably it's a good idea to get some more freedom in his last espoir year. His best performance that I remember was from his first year at the Czech Tour where he got 7th in a tough stage. Also he came close a few times to a stage win at the Volta this year.
Too often though he's had to play second fiddle to Marti, a bit like in his junior years when he had to play third fiddle to Morgado and Tavares.
Also leaving the devo team is Kurits. Very few race days with the team over two years. He had some success this year with the Estonian national team, but there were far too many DNFs especially in his first year - must have been illness/injuries.
Sam Coleman I presume is off too. Going by an Instagram post he's had a hard time with health issues which has affected him both physically and mentally. He's taking a step back from cycling at this level for the time being.
Staying in all likelihood are Verbrugghe and Garcia.
