Will Barta moves up to WorldTour level with CCC
(Cyclingnews.com)
 


Will Barta has signed for CCC for the 2019 season. The American has spent the past four years at Continental and Pro Continental level with Hagens Berman Axeon and now makes the step up to the WorldTour with the revamped BMC squad. `I`ve always been a big fan of BMC Racing Team. I started getting into cycling around the time Cadel Evans won the Tour de France in 2011 and to see how the whole team fought was really cool, so ever since then I have been a big fan. It`s a dream come true to join the team,` Barta said in a statement on Monday. Barta, 22, has caught the eye in the Ardennes in recent years, placing fourth at the under-23 Liège-Bastogne-Liège last season and taking third overall at this year´s Triptyque des Monts et Chateaux stage race. He was performing solidly at the Baby Giro in June only to be forced out by a crash that left him with a broken femur.ADVERTISEMENT `The races I look forward to most are the Ardennes classics,` Barta said. `I really enjoyed that type of racing at the U23 level and in the last few years I have become a better climber. I`ve really worked hard on the longer climbs so I`m looking forward to seeing how I can do in stage races as well. `Time trialling is also something I like and have done quite well at. I like the aspect of it being just you out there and you can see from the team`s results that time trials are a big focus so that`s definitely attractive for me, to be able to learn from the best. To have the opportunity to learn from a champion like Greg Van Avermaet and the older guys in the team will be amazing and I can`t wait.` Polish retail company CCC, currently sponsor of a Pro Continental squad, stepped in to take over sponsorship of Jim Ochowicz´s team for 2019 following BMC´s decision to withdraw its backing at the end of the current season.
