Chris Horner will make his debut for Lampre-Merida at the Challenge Mallorca as part of the 12-man team the squad has selected for the four individual events the make up the race.

Last year, the 42 year old became the oldest winner of a Grand Tour when he won the Vuelta. Despite this, he found a contract hard to come by and was eventually rewarded late last month with a deal with the Italian team.

Lampre-Merida for Challenge Mallorca: Chris Horner, Damiano Cunego, Diego Ulissi, Sacha Modolo, Maximiliano Richeze, Przemyslaw Niemiec, Josè Serpa, Kristijan Durasell, Jan Polanc, Rui Costa, Nelson Oliveira and Mattia Cattaneo.
