Raúl García Pierna, the promising 22-year-old Spanish rider, is ready for a new chapter in his professional career. After an outstanding stint with Equipo Kern Pharma, García Pierna has decided to embark on a new adventure with the French team Arkéa Samsic. The colleagues of MARCA have been in charge of advancing the next step that the cyclist from Madrid will take to compete in the French team until 2026.
Garcia Pierna's move to Arkéa Samsic was not a total surprise, as his departure from Kern Pharma had become an open secret. His time with the team allowed him to grow as a cyclist and develop his talent, but now, on the threshold of 2024, he is preparing to explore new horizons on the international stage.
This young rider, only 22 years old, has already made his mark in the cycling community. Although his current season has been somewhat irregular, his participation in the Glasgow World Championships has been quite outstanding. In the under-23 time trial, García Pierna showed his prowess by finishing fourth, just three seconds shy of a medal. An impressive achievement that highlights his potential and his ability to compete at the highest level.
The name of Raúl García Pierna is no stranger to conversations in cycling. In the past, his figure was linked to Movistar Team, and there were even rumors of a possible trade with Óscar Rodríguez. Although that operation never materialized, it showed the interest he aroused among the elite teams.
