EQUIPO KERN PHARMA

One of the invited teams in this edition approaches its participation with the ambition of continuing to consolidate its growth within the professional peloton and taking another step forward in La Vuelta. The Navarre-based squad, created in 2020 as the natural evolution of the Lizarte development team, has stood out from the outset for its strong commitment to young domestic talent. After several appearances in the Spanish Grand Tour, their objective is to seek visibility in breakaways and fight for their long-awaited first stage victory, which they have come close to achieving on several occasions.

Far from relying on big-name stars, Equipo Kern Pharma has built an identity based on teamwork, fighting spirit, and the gradual development of its riders. Cyclists such as Raúl García Pierna, Roger Adrià, and Pau Miquel have played leading roles in different editions, demonstrating the team’s ability to compete on equal terms with higher-budget structures. Their developmental philosophy has allowed them to nurture new Spanish talent, remaining faithful to a sustainable and competitive model.

In La Vuelta, the team has steadily increased its presence with bold performances and frequent appearances in breakaways, establishing itself as one of the most active ProTeam squads among the invited teams. Although a stage win has so far eluded them, their sporting growth and accumulated experience inspire optimism for the near future.
