Three young, talented, winning riders will still blue-fuchsia-green in 2016.
Valerio Conti, 22 years old, signed the agreement for racing in 2016 with LAMPRE-MERIDA, becoming one of the main members of the team together with the Slovenian Jan Polanc and Luka Pibernik.
Valerio Conti have been in the team of manager Brent Copeland since 2014 and obtained one victory in the 2014 GP Beghelli. A fast climber, he's going to take part in the Vuelta a Espana, his second experience in a grand tour (debut in the 2014 edition of the Spanish race), a few days after having honored the participation with the Italian national team in the pre-olimpic race in Rio de Jaineiro.
The rider from Rome chose to continue his blue-fuchsia-green experience because this is the best solution to improve his qualities and become one of the most important Italian riders.
Jan Polanc (23 years old, with LAMPRE-MERIDA since August 2013) and Luka Pibernik (21 years old, first season with the team) both have an agreement with the team for the whole 2016 season. The Slovenian duo has already demonstrated their quality: Polanc won the Abetone stage in the Giro d'Italia; in June, Pibernik took his second victory in the national championships.
In 2016, LAMPRE-MERIDA's tecnical staff will rely on a trio of young guns who have already been shown their value in the team and who'll give additional satisfactions in the next season. The team management is working on more some deals which will give further value to the team's roster.
