Joe Dombroswki has re-signed with EF Education First-Drapac for 2019, giving the 27-year-old American a sixth year with the US-registered WorldTour team run by Jonathan Vaughters. Dombrowski finished fifth overall at the 2018 Colorado Classic and sixth overall at the 2018 Tour of Utah, a race he won in 2015. "It's not a secret that the last couple of seasons have not been what I wanted results-wise," Dombrowski said. "I'm focused on doing what I need to do to get back to the the level that I know I'm capable of in races."ADVERTISEMENT Despite Dombrowski's disappointing results since moving to EF-Drapac from Team Sky, where he spent his two neo-pro seasons, Vaughters said he's confident Dombrowski is still capable of success in the pro peloton. "It's great to have Joe back," Vaughers said. "He knows our team and has been a great presence here over the years. Joe had a spectacular 2016 season, where he was in multiple breaks at that year’s Giro and finished third in the hardest mountain stage. The last couple years have been a bit of a struggle for him, but in the end, talent doesn't just go away. We want to give that talent an opportunity to rebuild." Dombrowki had been linked to Team Sunweb, saying that was one of teams he spoke to, but that he was always keen to stay with EF Education First-Drapac.
