Adrián Barceló, team manager, told us: “Second trip abroad by the team in a high-level test and tour, following the line of being able to offer the opportunity for cyclists to form in competitions. Regarding the routes, we have a very favorable time trial against Antonio Montón and also Joshua Sandman. With the tough finals, the race will put the cyclists in their place and I think we have a chance to make a good general with Ashley, among others.
Two freshmen runners in France, Molina and Cañete, are making a great campaign and with this opportunity we hope they will continue to improve. ”
