Working with Axel Merckx is an amazing opportunity
He has a name that's hard to miss, Tao Geoghegan Hart; with 2013 results to match - two of Europe's premier junior stage races and a podium in the junior Paris-Roubaix.

The last thing I want to do is retire like this.
The good news for 2008 Olympic road-race champion Samuel Sánchez this Christmas is that his contract with the soon-to-be-defunct Euskaltel-Euskadi, which technically had him racing for the Basque squad until 2015, has been formally declared null and void.

In 2012, at just 22, he won the GP Camaiore, a stage in the Vuelta a Burgos and was 3rd on GC. He also won the Tour de l’Avenir at just 21!

What a brilliant season the BMC rider had.

Jens Voigt: The Last Attack!
At 42 Jens Voigt is heading into his last season as a professional cyclist. Throughout his career he has been one of the ‘strongmen’ of the peloton, chasing breaks, fetching water bottles and every now and again; winning a race.

He’s 23 years old, Irish, can climb and sprint. He’s got people making the easy comparison to Sean Kelly, but it’s unfair to compare him to anyone just now, lets just say he’s the 1st Sam Bennett!
