HRE Mazowsze Serce Polski
Elitewheels began sponsorship of one of the top UCI Continental teams in the world, HRE Mazowsze Serce Polski. Over the past three years, the team has placed in the top 5 UCI Continental teams, beating out multiple ProTour teams. The riders will have a busy schedule this year. So far this year, they have participated in a number of races in Croatia, Slovenia, France and Serbia.
New Riders
The team has had a number of transfers since last year and welcomes a number of new riders including Eduard-Michael Grosu, a former rider of three ProTour teams including Drone Hopper – Androni Giocattoli, Delko, and Nippo – Vini Fantini. He has had a very impressive race career. The team also welcomes Jeppe Aaskov Pallesen, a former rider of Team ColoQuick. Other new riders and continuing riders will surely make the team a force to reckon with.
This year, the team has had a number of strong performances. Here are some of the highlights.
