Bardiani CSF Faizanè announced the signing of Eritrean talent Henok Mulubrhan, 22, who raced the first part of the season with the BikAid team. Mulubrhan was under contract to debut with Qhubeka-NextHash until the team was forced to end its WorldTour ambitions when it gave up the search for new title sponsors in November.

Mulubrhan spent two years in the Qhubeka organisation's development programme but was left without prospects over the winter and signed with the German-registered BikeAid team. In the early season he raced to sixth overall in the Tour of Antalya and fifth overall in the Tour of Rwanda. He went on to win the African continental championships road race and was second in the time trial.
