For 2009 the Spanish Pro Continental Contentopolis-Murcia squad has reinforced the sprinting prowess of its Mikel Gaztañaga by signing two new proven winners. Javier Benítez has won stages in the Vuelta a Chihuahua, and Francisco Pacheco has five wins split among the Vuelta a Extremadura, CT Correios and Volta Portugal. In addition, the team also signed local Claudio Casas, who has been racing for Andalucía Cajasur during the two last seasons.
Although there was some speculation about the future of the team after it missed the deadline for submitting some key documents to register with the UCI for 2009, the squad recently overcame budget issues and confirmed it will carry on next year and be part of the UCI's biological passport programme.
