The tenth new arrival for Caja Rural-Seguros RGA for the upcoming season is Catalan Sergi Darder (Barcelona, 2003), who joins the already confirmed signings of Alex Molenaar, Tyler Stites, Jakub Otruba, Abner González, Francisco Peñuela and Joan Bou, along with the three neo-professionals from Filial Caja Rural-Alea: Javier Ibáñez, Álex Díaz and Jan Castellon.

After a good debut season with Illes Balears-Arabay, Darder arrives with potential to continue proving himself. The results obtained - such as the young riders classification in Volta ao Alentejo or the 11 top-10 finishes in races like Volta a Portugal, Turul Romaniei or Tour of Istanbul - confirm his value.
"From the very first moment, Caja Rural-Seguros RGA has put me in a position to feel confident about making this step into the ProTeam category. I'm coming from a year that I consider very positive: I was able to get to know many races and rode alongside more experienced cyclists, trying to learn from them. I started cycling at the age of five in the Sant Boi Cycling Club school, where I completed all training stages. Then I made the jump to the U23 category with the Gsport team. I consider myself a rider with good speed and I can't wait to participate in this year's classics. They are my favorite races and I think I can do well."
