season, with four graduates from the Development squad announced as stepping up to the WorldTour team.<\/p>\n<p>After US rider Gavin Sherry and British rider Tomos Pattinson were already revealed to be making the jump, EF announced this week that 19-year-old Italian Roberto Capello and 23-year-old US rider Gavin Hlady would join them at the highest level in 2027.<\/p>\n<p

It will take time, maybe a few years, but he has the qualities even though he\u2019s still super young.&#8221;<\/p>\n<aside data-component-name=\"Recirculation:ArticleRiver\" data-recirculation-type=\"inline\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"Trending Bar\" data-nosnippet class=\"clear-both pt-2 pb-0 mb-4\"><span class=\"\n            flex\n            after:content-[&apos;&apos;] after:flex-1 after:ml-4 after:my-[0.7rem] after:border-t after:border-solid after:border-t-[#ccc]\n            before:content-[&apos;&apos;] before:flex-1 before:mr-4 before:my-[0.7rem] before:border-t before:border-solid before:border-t-[#ccc]\n            font-article-heading pb-0 text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,1em)] uppercase md:text-[length:var(--article-river-title--font-size,0.875em)] font-bold\n        \"><br \/>\n            What to read next<br \/>\n        <\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"flex flex-col gap-0 m-0 max-w-full\">\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ededed] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-1\" id=\"recirculation-inline-2-1\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-2-inline-1\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-2-inline-1\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/PiZ87PnEEMNC8goJyn4v4X-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/PiZ87PnEEMNC8goJyn4v4X-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">Tao Geoghegan Hart signs for EF Education-EasyPost in bid to &#8216;refind the condition I had in my best years&#8217;<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ededed] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-2\" id=\"recirculation-inline-2-2\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-2-inline-2\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-2-inline-2\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/tMwkSbhCWoC8qQBWTqxzZf-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/tMwkSbhCWoC8qQBWTqxzZf-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">&#8216;That void is going to be filled&#8217; \u2013 EF Education-EasyPost management reflect on adapting to top leader Richard Carapaz&#8217;s exit from 2027 lineup<\/span><\/li>\n<li class=\"m-0 list-none border-b border-solid border-[#ccc] py-2\" data-recirculation-id=\"recirculation-card-3\" id=\"recirculation-inline-2-3\" data-analytics-id=\"recirculation-2-inline-3\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"recirculation-2-inline-3\">\n    <source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/Fsz5g7wWWTfMpgCVwGFnrg-250-80.jpg.webp 250w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/Fsz5g7wWWTfMpgCVwGFnrg-150-80.jpg.webp 150w\" sizes=\"150px\" \/><span class=\"w-full text-base font-[var(--article-river-item--font-weight,500)] font-article-heading line-clamp-3 md:line-clamp-2\">EF Education-EasyPost pick up another climber for 2027 after Carapaz departure<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/aside>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">Hlady rode as a stagiaire for the WorldTour squad back at the end of 2024, and then raced for two seasons on the Aevolo squad to earn his way up to a full spot. A two-time under-23 national road race champion, Hlady also finished on the podium of the elite men&#8217;s road race at the US national champs in 2025 behind Quinn Simmons and Evan Boyle.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;I\u2019m excited to be stepping up and into the next phase of my career with this amazing team,&#8221; said Hlady.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;Honestly, over the last few years, I always thought joining the WorldTour was possible, but I never thought it was guaranteed, so having this opportunity means so much to me. I truly believe that I have more to give and more room to develop as a rider.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">In 2026, he finished second on a stage of the Alpes Is\u00e8re Tour, and netted top-10s on stages at the Fl\u00e8che du Sud and Le Tour de Bretagne Cycliste. For 2027, Hlady is looking to improve on his versatility, with the team confident he can go in any direction when it comes to specialising.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;Obviously, EF Education-EasyPost has strong American roots, but even if you took that aspect out of the equation, this is the team that I\u2019d want to join. If you lined up all the teams in the men\u2019s WorldTour, I\u2019d choose EF Education-EasyPost every time,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;I\u2019m grateful, and I appreciate that we still have this cool international flavour and culture. I think we\u2019re a really diverse team, and what sets us apart is that at the biggest races we always seem to punch above our weight. It\u2019s an all-or-nothing and fun racing attitude. From the outside, they seem like the best team too because all the staff seem really cool too,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;I want to get stronger, better and faster in every possible way and then see where that takes me. From there, I\u2019ll sit down with the team in November at our next camp, and that\u2019s when we\u2019ll formulate a plan in terms of expectations and race calendar.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;Gavin came with Aevolo, and he\u2019s shown throughout the last couple of years, with his national titles, that he has a lot of upward potential. He raced with the WorldTour team this year, and he did really well as a teammate, and he\u2019s ticked a lot of boxes for us this year,&#8221; added Langeveld.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;It\u2019s a bit early to determine where he will end up as a rider, but he still has a lot of untapped potential, and we\u2019re going to work with him on getting the best out of himself in the coming season. He can climb, and he might even go in the direction of the classics, but really, it\u2019s about taking our time with the young riders and not rushing them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-39ada466-d9d7-11f1-8878-0f8bfe441c1c\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\"><strong>The road season might be at an end, but Cyclingnews isn&#8217;t slowing down.

id=\"elk-39ada1b4-d9d7-11f1-8656-c5c128fc507c\">After the departure of nine riders, including their highest-ranked rider, Richard Carapaz, EF Education-EasyPost have continued to rebuild for the 2027 season, with four graduates from the Development squad announced as stepping up to the WorldTour team.<\/p>\n<p>After US rider Gavin Sherry and British rider Tomos Pattinson were already revealed to be making the jump, EF announced this week that 19-year-old Italian Roberto Capello and 23-year-old US rider Gavin Hlady would join them at the highest level in 2027.<\/p>\n<p

Eder, but joined EF Education-Aevolo for 2026. Despite setbacks due to crashes and injury in the first half of the season, Capello closed out the racing calendar strongly and has now earned the step up he&#8217;s dreamed of.<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-6 w-full overflow-hidden rounded-[10px] lg:my-8\" data-component-name=\"JwPlayer:Carousel\" data-jwp-carousel data-jwp-carousel-payload=\"{&quot;ids&quot;:{&quot;playerID&quot;:&quot;jYDCcabO&quot;,&quot;searchPlaylistID&quot;:&quot;gwjdoYHD&quot;,&quot;divID&quot;:&quot;botr_gwjdoYHD_jYDCcabO_div&quot;,&quot;fallbackPlaylistID&quot;:&quot;gwjdoYHD&quot;,&quot;fallbackDivID&quot;:&quot;botr_gwjdoYHD_jYDCcabO_div&quot;,&quot;key&quot;:&quot;X9\/mXVGac0NphghLH9hZaqWA5d3dhAM\/Ih07grnEyMLjuO2E&quot;,&quot;tintLogo&quot;:true,&quot;useSearchPlaylist&quot;:false,&quot;enabled&quot;:true},&quot;signPostingEnabled&quot;:true,&quot;signPostingLinkEnabled&quot;:true,&quot;waitForAdLoad&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnDesktop&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnMobile&quot;:false,&quot;hidePlayerOnTablet&quot;:false}\">\n<div class=\"flex flex-nowrap items-center justify-between gap-3 bg-zinc-900 px-[14px] py-3\" data-jwp-carousel-header>\n<div class=\"flex min-w-0 shrink items-center\"><span class=\"inline-flex items-center gap-1.5 text-sm font-article-heading capitalize leading-5 text-white whitespace-nowrap\"><span class=\"jwp-carousel-title-desktop\">Latest Videos From<\/span><span class=\"jwp-carousel-brand\">Cyclingnews<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"min-h-[44px] bg-zinc-900 px-[14px] py-3\" data-jwp-carousel-signposting><a class=\"invisible block truncate text-sm font-bold leading-5 text-white underline decoration-solid underline-offset-2\" data-jwp-carousel-signposting-link href target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-jwp-carousel-signposting-title>Watch full video here: <\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">They join Tao Geoghegan Hart, Ivan Sosa, Nicholas Milesi, Tobias Bayer, and Emil Herzog as EF&#8217;s new arrivals for 2027.

A two-time under-23 national road race champion, Hlady also finished on the podium of the elite men&#8217;s road race at the US national champs in 2025 behind Quinn Simmons and Evan Boyle.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;I\u2019m excited to be stepping up and into the next phase of my career with this amazing team,&#8221; said Hlady.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;Honestly, over the last few years, I always thought joining the WorldTour was possible, but I never thought it was guaranteed, so having this opportunity means so much to me. I truly believe that I have more to give and more room to develop as a rider.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">In 2026, he finished second on a stage of the Alpes Is\u00e8re Tour, and netted top-10s on stages at the Fl\u00e8che du Sud and Le Tour de Bretagne Cycliste. For 2027, Hlady is looking to improve on his versatility, with the team confident he can go in any direction when it comes to specialising.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;Obviously, EF Education-EasyPost has strong American roots, but even if you took that aspect out of the equation, this is the team that I\u2019d want to join. If you lined up all the teams in the men\u2019s WorldTour, I\u2019d choose EF Education-EasyPost every time,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;I\u2019m grateful, and I appreciate that we still have this cool international flavour and culture. I think we\u2019re a really diverse team, and what sets us apart is that at the biggest races we always seem to punch above our weight. It\u2019s an all-or-nothing and fun racing attitude. From the outside, they seem like the best team too because all the staff seem really cool too,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;I want to get stronger, better and faster in every possible way and then see where that takes me. From there, I\u2019ll sit down with the team in November at our next camp, and that\u2019s when we\u2019ll formulate a plan in terms of expectations and race calendar.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;Gavin came with Aevolo, and he\u2019s shown throughout the last couple of years, with his national titles, that he has a lot of upward potential. He raced with the WorldTour team this year, and he did really well as a teammate, and he\u2019s ticked a lot of boxes for us this year,&#8221; added Langeveld.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;It\u2019s a bit early to determine where he will end up as a rider, but he still has a lot of untapped potential, and we\u2019re going to work with him on getting the best out of himself in the coming season. He can climb, and he might even go in the direction of the classics, but really, it\u2019s about taking our time with the young riders and not rushing them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-39ada466-d9d7-11f1-8878-0f8bfe441c1c\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\"><strong>The road season might be at an end, but Cyclingnews isn&#8217;t slowing down.

A two-time under-23 national road race champion, Hlady also finished on the podium of the elite men&#8217;s road race at the US national champs in 2025 behind Quinn Simmons and Evan Boyle.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;I\u2019m excited to be stepping up and into the next phase of my career with this amazing team,&#8221; said Hlady.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;Honestly, over the last few years, I always thought joining the WorldTour was possible, but I never thought it was guaranteed, so having this opportunity means so much to me. I truly believe that I have more to give and more room to develop as a rider.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">In 2026, he finished second on a stage of the Alpes Is\u00e8re Tour, and netted top-10s on stages at the Fl\u00e8che du Sud and Le Tour de Bretagne Cycliste. For 2027, Hlady is looking to improve on his versatility, with the team confident he can go in any direction when it comes to specialising.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;Obviously, EF Education-EasyPost has strong American roots, but even if you took that aspect out of the equation, this is the team that I\u2019d want to join. If you lined up all the teams in the men\u2019s WorldTour, I\u2019d choose EF Education-EasyPost every time,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;I\u2019m grateful, and I appreciate that we still have this cool international flavour and culture. I think we\u2019re a really diverse team, and what sets us apart is that at the biggest races we always seem to punch above our weight. It\u2019s an all-or-nothing and fun racing attitude. From the outside, they seem like the best team too because all the staff seem really cool too,&#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;I want to get stronger, better and faster in every possible way and then see where that takes me. From there, I\u2019ll sit down with the team in November at our next camp, and that\u2019s when we\u2019ll formulate a plan in terms of expectations and race calendar.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;Gavin came with Aevolo, and he\u2019s shown throughout the last couple of years, with his national titles, that he has a lot of upward potential. He raced with the WorldTour team this year, and he did really well as a teammate, and he\u2019s ticked a lot of boxes for us this year,&#8221; added Langeveld.<\/p>\n<p aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\">&#8220;It\u2019s a bit early to determine where he will end up as a rider, but he still has a lot of untapped potential, and we\u2019re going to work with him on getting the best out of himself in the coming season. He can climb, and he might even go in the direction of the classics, but really, it\u2019s about taking our time with the young riders and not rushing them.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"elk-39ada466-d9d7-11f1-8878-0f8bfe441c1c\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"kiosq-b\"><strong>The road season might be at an end, but Cyclingnews isn&#8217;t slowing down.
