(Cyclingnews.com)

Victor de la Parte will ride for the revamped CCC team in 2019. The Spaniard joins the squad from Movistar, where he spent the past two seasons. De la Parte previously raced with the CCC-Sprandi team at Pro Continental level in 2016. CCC will take over as title sponsor of the BMC team for 2019. Some current CCC-Sprandi management and riders are expected to join the overhauled WorldTour team. The holding company behind the team is known as Continuum Sports. `For me, Continuum Sports is one of the biggest projects in cycling with big riders and many victories throughout the years, so it is a great pleasure to be part of the family,` De la Parte said in a statement released on Monday. `The 2016 season was a big step in my career and I will always be very thankful to CCC Sprandi Polkowice so it is also exciting to see the CCC brand step up to the WorldTour. CCC has been in cycling for many years and I think it is fantastic to see them become title sponsor of Continuum Sports.`ADVERTISEMENT De la Parte turned professional with the Caja Rural squad in 2011, but then spent four seasons at Continental level with SP Tableware, Efapel-Glassdrive and Team Vorarlberg before returning to Pro Continental level with CCC-Sprandi in 2016. The Spaniard´s biggest victory came when he won two stages and general classification at the 2015 Tour of Austria. A solid campaign the following year in the colours of CCC earned him a WorldTour contract at Movistar at the beginning of 2017. He has completed the Giro d´Italia in each of his two seasons at Movistar. A strong time triallist, De la Parte will look to progress further in the discipline at CCC. Team manager Jim Ochowicz suggested that the Spaniard´s late elevation to WorldTour racing left him with margin for improvement. You can read more at Cyclingnews.com
