W52 FC PORTO

Portugal has a team in the pro ranks for the first time since 2008. W52 has been the dominant squad on the local scene over the past few years and has won the 11-day Volta ao Portugal every year since 2013. Top rider to watch: Raúl Alarcón. The 32-year-old has gone from anonymity to relative notoriety for winning the Portuguese tour back-toback in 2017 and 18. His team’s rise puts him in with an outside chance of racing his home tour, the Vuelta. Established 2004 Manager Nuno Ribeiro Bike Swift Carbon
