Australian Michael Rogers will spend his fourth season with the Tinkoff Team aboard a Specialized S-Works Tarmac painted in the team's yellow and blue colours.
The 36-year-old, who would no doubt like to add to his 15 professional wins, raced both the Giro d'Italia and Tour de France in 2014, and more Grand Tours are in his future as teammate Alberto Contador will focus on the Tour this year. Rogers won two stages of the Giro in 2014 and a stage at the Tour that same year, but he came up empty handed in those races last year while supporting Contador's ultimately unsuccessful bid for the Giro-Tour double. With Rogers' help, the Spaniard won the Giro but struggled in the Tour and had to settle for fifth.
