For the start of the 2016 season, Lampre-Merida will race in Australia (Tour Down Under) and at the same time in Argentina where they will line up for the Tour de San Luis (January 18-24).
Sports director Orlando Maini will lead a selection of 6 riders: Mattia Cattaneo, Davide Cimolai, Roberto Ferrari, Ilia Koshevoy, Matej Mohoric and Jan Polanc (three Italians, two Slovenians and one Byelorussian).
The South American race will start with a TTT which will be followed by stages with opportunities for all riders: three stages for the sprinters, two for the climbers and one which is characterized by a mixed course.
The goals of Lampre-Merida whose selection for the race is characterized by a low average age (25 years), will be confirmation of the form of its riders who trained well during the winter break, and an attempt to be protagonist in every stage: Cimolai and Ferrari will improve their feeling in the sprintsand Cattaneo, Koshevoy and Polanc will try to exploit the opportunities in the more demanding stages. There will be also a big interest in Mohoric's debut with the team.
