Berhe has ridden to some sucsess this year that has brought him considerable attention, winning two races in Switzerland and the KOM classification at the Istrian Spring Trophy. He's ridden to a seventh place in the under-23 Giro della Valle d'Aosta and has mostly been described as a talented climber, where he will look to evolve in the coming years.

"I truly believe this team will be perfect for me in order to keep growing and learning. I feel very proud and motivated for this new adventure and I can’t wait to begin.
