Spaniards José Luis Carrasco Gámiz and Fernando Serrano Sánchez, both of whom rode for the Avila Rojas tea in 2004, will turn professional with separate teams this season. After a very impressive season which saw him top the Spanish U23 rankings, Carrasco has been signed by Illes Balears. His current teammate Fernando Serrano Sánchez, who finished second in the national U23 rankings, will ride for Kaiku.
