Rafael Barbas, a 22-year-old Portuguese climber, signed a contract with Caja Rural-Seguros RGA until 2028. The young rider leaves his previous team, Tavfer-Ovos Matinados-Mortágua, to join the Spanish formation permanently.
The agreement between the parties was sealed for two seasons, which means Barbas will be linked to the new club at least until the end of 2028. This transfer represents a significant change in the career of the Portuguese athlete, who will now compete in a higher-level team in the professional cycling circuit.
Caja Rural-Seguros RGA is a Spanish formation that regularly competes in top-level races on the world calendar. The signing of the young Portuguese is part of the team's strategy to reinforce its roster with young and promising talent.
