“Caja Rural-Seguros RGA has always been a dominant team in Spain and around the world. Arriving in this team is an illusion, and even more so given the last two years sportingly speaking. I arrive very motivated to continue progressing within of the team. This year was the best in sporting terms in terms of results. However, I had physical problems in many big events like the Tour of Spain where for health reasons I was not able to show myself as I would have liked. said the new arrival.
“As a runner, I consider myself a climber with good speed in small groups. I grew a lot and progressed both on the longer climbs and on the finishes with a little slope, where I obtained good results. I have a lot of goals, including winning a victory with the team. The race that would make me very excited would be the Vuelta España, which is the biggest showcase of the whole year.” he added.
