Nine new faces in the Polartec-Kometa junior team 2019

The seventh U19 project of the Alberto Contador Foundation begins to take its first steps with the confirmation of the nine riders who will join the team for the 2019 season. Nine cyclists who come from among the thirty participants of the sixth edition of the Selection Campus promoted in Zaragoza by the Foundation and the Aragonese restaurant chain La Mafia se sienta a la mesa.

Pedro Beneit from Alicante, Francesc Bennassar from the Balearic Islands, Gerard Bofill from Catalonia, José Luis Medina from Cadiz, Fernando Tercero from La Mancha, Pablo Gutiérrez and David Quevedo from Cantabria, and Raúl García and Alejandro Luna from Madrid were finally chosen after a very difficult selection process due to the great talent of all the candidates. In the specific case of Luna, in a circumstance that occurs for the first time, this rider once passed through the Escuela Plaza Éboli.

The nine chosen riders will make up the new Polartec-Kometa U19 squad that will be completed, in their second year in the category, by the Catalan Juan José Rosal, the Madrid rider Javier Serrano and the Andalusian riders Manuel Jesús Carrellán and Carlos Rodríguez.
