Lots of changes from last season, only 7 riders remain from last years squad, and among the riders leaving is Rein Taaramae and Florentino Marquez. Both leaders last year. Only 8 Austrian or Germans this year, a result of a clear objective from T-Mobile for the team to sign more international riders.
We are going into the season with a much deeper squad than last season, the biggest change is that we actually have someone that can score points on cobbles. The climbing squad has changed profile with no big star like Taaramae, but with several riders that can do well and we hope to replace some of what Rein gave by having the riders attacking a bit more.
The hilly squad is still strong, with TVG and Buchmann as the leaders. Will be interesting to see how that works out.
For the time trials we have the best pure time trialist in the world and we hope for a great season from him. Predatsch and Hamza are support riders.
No sprints this year, and we hope that means you will see pink jerseys joining the breaks more often.
