As sign up for this seasons' Clash of Nations is opening, redop's manager elleniko has been appointed as the new man in charge of the Portugal NT.
Without wasting more time the team roster for the Season 16 Clash of Nations is now made public.
Vasco Assis (redop), 26, All-rounder: Current National Champion and one of the best all-rounders in the world, VA is the only representative from the new manager's team redop. He will certainly be a voice of leadership in the National Team.
Fabrício Malta (Delfins Team), 29, Sprinter: The most international rider with 27 call ups its synonym of performance. Has been always at the top of the Portugal Rank and that means a secure good performance from him and the team.
Conrado Fraga (alberta 1), 29, Hilly-sprinter: The 'Portuguese Volcano' is one the best hilly sprinters in the world and is looking to get his first victory for Portugal NT. Everyone must watch out for this exploding volcano.
Rogério Aleixo (Primagaz AG), 29, Time-trialist: The second Best Time-trialist of season 15, just behind the winner of the Ame Anderberg Trophy. Aleixo is the fastest Portuguese man against the clock and is aiming for Washington City TT.
Saturnin Garrido (Team Wells), 29, Climber: A victory at Germany Tour Stage 4 last season its Garrido's visiting card. A rider that would have a spot in every team in the world also has a spot at CoN for Portugal.
Élvio Aguiar (CycleMotor), 26, Climber: Winner of last season's Monte Rosa Tour YC jersey and 3rd GC this season. Portugal NT can be the place for Élvio to show all the talent we know him to have.
Almor Almada (Bubadelas), 29, Hilly-climber: Yet another rider whose name in the roster is no surprise. Excellent in all kinds of climbs, he's a great rider anywhere.
Óscar Balsemão (Greenride), 25, Sprinter: Óscar is used at greenride to have the Balsemão's train working for him. Here he will be part of the train, and a mighty train it will be.
Hermano Afonso (skils), 30, Sprinter: Experienced sprinter with lead-out duties for skils, currently looking for a new team. He knows a good CoN can only help in increasing the interest in him.
Antão Neves (Team Trier), 26, Cobbler: 2nd in the Best Cobbler Trophy last season, Neves will have his debut in the National Team. He's the first true cobbler to be called up and the best chance for Portugal in Paris.
Lúcio Semedo (Penicos Avulso), 30, Climber: Lúcio is a proven captain at lower divisions for Penicos Avulso and a worthy teammate for the National Team.
Zacarias Semedo (Team Crazy Downhillers), 25, Climber: The younger brother of Lúcio is the most controversial name in the roster. An impressive start of season with 2 victories and a 2nd place secured him the last place available for the CoN.

Good looking team. See you at the CoN soon.

20 results! Aguiar already showed his potentials and is showing it right now with two results in the last two races.
Thanks for choosing Zacarias Semedo, even though he is yours ;)
