Adrián Palomares confirmed his signing with the Professional Continental team Grupo Nicolás Mateos-Murcia. The 31 year-old Spaniard had other offers, but chose the team, "because Ginés García insisted he counted on me. In addition to that I know him from my U-23 era," said Palomares. In 2007, Palomares had his best season since his debut in 2000 while riding for the Furerteventura-Canarias, winning a stage and taking second place overall in the Tour of Britain and taking one stage of the Regio Tour and fifth overall.
