The 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:BMC Racing Team presented its 2014 rider rost🌄er and management team on Friday at the new Velodrome Suiss𒁃e, not far from BMC Switzerland's headquarters in Grenchen, Switzerland.

Twenty-two riders return from the 2013 squad that won 30 races, including a stage of the Vuelta a España, four stage races overall and seven team classifications. Included on the roster are four past road world champions: 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alessandro Ballan, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Cadel Evans, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Philippe Gilbert and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Thor Hushovd, plus two reigning national road⛦ champions, Michael Schär and Hushovd, and one ⭕national time trial champion, Peter Velits. Greg Van Avermaet, the team's top rider in the individual WorldTour rankings, also returns.

Six riders are new for 2014: Darwin Atapuma, Silvan Dillier, Ben Hermans, Peter Stetina, Velꦏits and Rick Zabel. Hermans was not present at the presentation due to prior racing commitments.

Sporting Manager Allan Peiper, who will lead the team's five sport directors as well as oversee the new Sports Science Division, said he has five objec⛦tives for ♈the BMC Racing Team for 2014.

"This team won 21 races and the world championship last year, and we won 30 races this year in what we🅷 call an unsuccessful year," Peiper said. "So next year, it would be great and it would be successful if we could have 40 w🉐ins, win a one-day Classic, a Grand Tour, the world championship team time trial and retain our place again in the top three of the UCI teams."

Returning sport directors Fabio Baldato, Yv🥀on Ledanois, Max Sciandri and Jackson Stewart will be joined by newcomer Valerio Piva.

BMC Racing Team President and General Manager Jim Ochowicz said he has marveled at the considerable growth of the program since the team's inception in 2006. "We've won a Tour de France title, a world championship and many other races," he said. "We have grown each year, we have developed each year, and w🎶e continue to grow and develop. I'm excited about 2014. We have lofty goals - we need those - but we have a very capable group of riders."

"All of us together, sport directors, riders and staff will meet those goals and show the peloton ag🐷ain what we are all about. I know a lot of the other teams are very competitive and we need competition. We enjoy it. So we♏'re looking forward to a really strong season in 2014."
