World Cup silver medalist Edgar Stepanyan had successful performances in several tournaments in the United States and drew the attention of top American teams.

The cyclist has told Mediamax Sport the managers follow all his performances and results.

“They noticed my potential and they think an athlete like me could have a place in their squad. Owner of my current club Velo Pasadena Hrach Gevrikyan is negotiating with BMC manager and I have sent them results of the VO 2max I passed recently. They said I complied with their standards and were surprised to find out I haven’t been in a professional team before,” said Stepanyan.

The Armenian cyclist thinks it is too early to speak about the transfer. BMC participates in Tour de France and will form the new squad in November, so Stepanyan has to wait till then.

“If I really get into such a team, my career will change drastically for the better. BMC is one of top 21 clubs in the world and competes in Tour de France, Giro d’Italia, Vuelta Espana and other big tournaments,” added Stepanyan.
