Costa's 2013 win was the best result Portugal have recorded at the world championships.

Costa will be hoping he can improve upon his 23rd place at last year's race.

According to a report in the Dutch 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:LottoNL-Jumbo team is after an American and Italian rider for next season having extended its bike deal with Bianchi. George Bennett (New Ze🐼aland) and Robert Wagner (Germany) are currently the only non-Dutch or Belgian riders on the team and it believed the Italian bicycle company is iꦅnterested in the team signing Battaglin (Bardiani-CSF) for commercial reasons.
