Orica-GreenEDGE have confirmed the signing of up-and-coming British duo Adam and Simon Yates.
Having raced on separate trade teams on the road during the past two years, with Adam representing the French-based CC Etupes while Simon opted to stay with the Great Britain academy, both are excited to reunite in 2014. "We've been apart now for a couple years," said Adam. "It's never been a struggle, but it's always better for us when we're together. We each got a few offers from other teams that were just for one of us. The best options were the ones from teams that we're keen on us both." "It was pretty important for us to find a team together," reiterated Simon, when posed the same question. "Obviously, we can be apart, but it's a lot easier in a lot of regards when we're together."
