Back to rumors, Martin Mae's has some kinda deal with Subaru that I don't remember seeing before and it appears he's the only Orbea rider with it? Had the Subaru logo on the redbull Helmut and jersey.

Thanks, I'm regularly wrong so this all makes sense. Good on them, that seems like a big signing.
