As the new season quickly approaches, Cyclingnews is taking a look at the ins and outs of the 2018-2019 transfer window and analysing how the different teams have equipped themselves for the forthcoming season.

In the first instalment, we looked at AG2R La Mondiale, Astana, Bahrain-Merida, CCC Team and Bora-Hansgrohe. In the second, we examine the prospects of Dimension Data, EF Education First, Groupama-FDJ and Katusha-Alpecin.

Team: Dimension Data

Overview: Micheal Valgren and Roman Kreuziger add dynamism and steel. Giacomo Nizzolo and Enrico Gasparotto form a reliable second line but can Mark Cavendish return to anywhere near his best?
