Next week at the Volta a la Comunitat Valencia, seven Mitchelton-SCOTT riders will kick start their 2019 seasons, with Briton Adam Yates ready to test his legs on the climbs, European champion Matteo Trentin eyeing sprint stages and Giro d’Italia stage winner Esteban Chaves making a much anticipated return to racing.
Chaves will get the chance to pin a number on his jersey once again after an eight month hiatus due to being diagnosed with Epstein-barr virus along with sinus and allergy reactions mid-way through the 2018 season.
With plenty of kilometres in the legs after a tough Spanish training camp, the balanced seven-rider squad are ready to get back into the peloton and hope to carry on the team’s successful momentum from Australia.
