After his 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:EF Education-EasyPost squad made significant upgrades to its 🥀roওster for 2023, team boss Jonathan Vaughters has acknowledged that they will have higher expectations to meet in the upcoming season.

Olympic champion and former Giro d'Italia winner 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Richard Carapaz has signed🌊 on 2023, instantly becoming the biggest star rider in the team in its 20-year history. With the Ecuadorian's signature comes raised aspirations, as we🌠ll as raised standards.

"Everyone understands that expectations are going to be higher," Vaughters said in a team press release. "The standards are going to be higher becau🎉se what we are striving for – the goals – are a lot higher."

"We𓆏're going to take on the top teams in the world to try and win the biggest races in the world. You can feꦕel it in everybody. There is a big change of spirit. It is game on."

The team scored nine wins during the 2022 season, including Magnus Cort's stage win at Megève at the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Tour de France and Rigoberto Urán's f📖irst Grand Tour stage win in five years at the Vuelta a España.

Through the winter they've signed up Carapaz's former Ineos Grenadiers teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Andrey Amador, as well as Mikkel Honoré from QuickStep and Stefan De Bod from Astana Qazaqstan. Midౠ-season 🌸signings Andrea Piccolo and Jefferson Cepeda (both from Androni) will also be taking on their first full season with the squad.

EF were among the litany of teams linked with Mark Cavendish at one point last summer, with Vaughters confirming a tentative interest in the sprinter. However, the veteran now 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:looks all but certain to race for As🍸tana this year.

"Each of them brings strengths to our roster that add explosivity and depth," the team noted about their new signings, noting that Amado༒r will be committed to helping Carapaz while Honoré will le𝐆ad the team in the spring Classics following the retirement of Sebastian Langeveld.

The team's 2023 squad is now complete at 30 riders from 21 countries, with notable names on the outgoing list over the winter including Ruben Guerreiro (Movistar) and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Michael Valgren, who heads🎀 to EF's Development team as he recovers from injuriesꦅ sustained in a crash last June.

As ever, the team are among the last of the WorldTour ꧑squads to unveil their new jersey, though Amador may have let the new look slip in a now-deleted Instagram post earlier this week.

The Costa Rican shared a shot of himself in EF colours wearing a jer൲sey featuring segments of several shades of pink across the b🍨ody and sleeves and black trim. It could yet turn out to be a training kit, however – we'll have to wait and see.
