Sebastian Berwick enjoys the road he traveled with the Caja Rural -Seguros RGA.

The eye・catching appearance of young Australians such as Sebastian Berwick in the lineup of the Caja Rural Segros rga team in Volta, Catalonia, is the 24・year・old Brisbane・born rider who has won a number of races in the lower categories such as the Alsace Tour and the Alps Isel. Not because he already had a lot of interest in his climbing and GC potential in UCI races.

Berwick is also the 2nd Australian to join the Caja Rural-Seguros RGA team in its current form. This first chance was Nick Schultz (Israel Premiatech), winner of the opening stage of this year's Volta a Catalunya, who raced with the Spanish team in 2017 and 2018.

In the late 1980s, the top・level Australian domestique Neil Stevens, now the sports director of Bahrain victory, also said that the Spanish Savings Bank pro・cycling more than a decade since they began supporting the professional team again in 2010, Hugh Kersey and Michal Kwatkowski. Foreign racers of the caliber of - are also cutting team and professional teeth.

Berwick comes to the team after a difficult winter due to illness after spending 3 years at Israel-Premier Tech. Still, he says, at least for the Australians, he enjoys both taking the less-traveled path in the Caja rural area and steadily building form towards the team's first big goal, the Ituria-Basque country

"The team is really good, everyone is good, everyone is good, everyone is good, everyone is good, everyone is good, everyone is good, everyone is good, everyone is good, everyone is good, everyone is good, everyone is good, everyone is good, everyone is good, everyone is good, everyone is good, everyone is good, everyone is good, everyone is good, everyone is good, everyone is good, everyone is good, everyone is good, everyone is good, everyone is good, everyone is good, everyone is good, everyone is good, everyone is good, everyone is good, everyone is good, everyone is good, everyone is good, everyone is good, everyone is good, everyone is good, everyone is good, everyone is good, everyone is good, everyone is good, everyone is good, everyone is good, everyone is good, everyone is good, everyone is good, everyone is good, everyone is good, everyone is good, It's all good at the moment because there's no goal," Berwick said at Stage 4 of Cyclingnews Volta a Catalunya. "I'm just really in the race right now, but every day I'm getting better. I hope this week will really get me into it because the Basque country is coming.

Asked about his departure from Israel - Premier Tech, he ended up signing for Caja Rural, he simply says it, "I'm really grateful for it Sai but they helped me and gave me the contract and everything.""

Israel Premiattech and Caja Rural-Seguros RGA are both in the professional team category, but it's fair to say that the former is much more high profile than the latter. But as Berwick sees it, he will get a chance to shine in the Spanish team regardless.

"I knew all the obvious things that come into it, the budget plays a big role in it, and everything you imagine will be different, different." So that's not a surprise I guess.

"I'm really happy about it because I have a really good race program and hopefully I'll get as many opportunities as you say, breakaway, and maybe when I get better form I can go to GC even in some races." You can do it."

As a resident of Andorra, in Europe, he has no problem going where the team is based in Pamplona, Spain, and when it comes to racing, his objectives are also in the north of the country, he said. In addition, riding for a team with such deep cycling roots has its own special appeal as well.

"It's really great to see sponsors stay for years.

"And Italia is a big target, especially when we haven't got the Vuelta a España" – the team missed a wild card this year – "It's super for the team"

Berwick's form-building made him the best player for a six-day basque race. If you lead to a state, no one in the team will have a purpose. But more importantly, perhaps, at the Caja Rural-Seguros RGA, Berwick has a fresh chance to show his potential in all sorts of races throughout the season.
