Caja Rural-Seguros RGA has already announced out its pre-selection of riders who will compete in the 2015 Vuelta. The green team will participate in its fourth consecutive Vuelta a España since its debut in 2012. Throughout the three previous editions the team has won a stage, has made it onto the podium for the King of the Mountain and Combativity awards, as well as for being leaders in secondary classifications, for combativity and best team awards. But, above all that, it has won thanks to its combative and spectacular riding, and the fact that it puts up a good fight with teams featuring great riders and much higher budgets.
For yet another year, the team will go to the Vuelta with the utmost enthusiasm and with a team made of 9 riders to be selected from the following short-list of 13: David Arroyo, Amets Txurruka, Pello Bilbao, Omar Fraile, Ricardo Vilela, José Gonçalves, Carlos Barbero, Javier Aramendía, Eduard Prades, Heiner Parra, Fabricio Ferrari, Lluis Mas and Ángel Madrazo.
A squad of names capable of winning stages in any type of finale, riders who will fight and put on a good show while searching for their options to win and riders like David Arroyo and Ricardo Vilela who could well be close to the top of the general classification.
