SEASON 2018

SEASON 2018

In the 2018 season continues the work done in the two previous seasons where, little by little, the under23 runners have more prominence in the template and also, is the team in amateur category with more Aragonese runners.

Like last season, the team keeps the name of La Tova - Asesoría Almudévar.

Template

During the 2018 season, the team's sub23 block continued with the training pyramid of the Zaragoza Cycling School at the beginning of the under23 stage of several cyclists from the youth team: Iulen Beltrán and Sergio Domínguez. The team was reinforced with Germán Castel (Caja Rural) and Adrián García. A few months later, Javier Montaner would join the ranks of the Huesca team as a reinforcement at the end of the season.

On the other hand, for three months the Colombian runner, Duban Cardona, was competing with this structure, in addition to the renewal of Állue, Pérez and Tosat.

Comment from our general manager

At the beginning of the 2018 season, a comment from our general manager, Adrián Barceló, was introduced as a novelty in the previous ones of each race. In this commentary the route was analyzed, guidelines that runners in the race should follow, etc.

To summarize this season, it will continue with the same format:

"Third campaign of the team and second with the name of La Tova - Asesoría Almudévar. We can summarize the year with a very important stage of progression and learning both at a sporting level and at a structural level, every year we try to offer more material and calendar, this year we have taken a good step forward in this regard.

In the sports issue has not reached the expected level with the template that was had in the races have suffered many breakdowns and falls in the key moments of the races eliminating in most cases, some dispute option. Despite this, we have made mistakes that have helped us learn and try not to commit them again in the race. "---Adrián Barceló, General Manager
