Movistar has completed their men's and women's line-ups for the 2018 seasons. 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Dayer Quintana fills the last spot on the men's side after extendin🎃g his contract into a fifth season,♔ while Gloria Rodríguez is the 10th signing for the women's team.

The news that the team is now full means that there is no more room for Daniel Moreno in the men's team as they reduce their squad size from 28 to 25 riders. Several WorldTour teams have trimmed their rosters for the 2018 seasonꦜ following the change in regulations that will see eight-rider teams at Grand Tours and other WorldTour races cut to just seven riders per team. Movistar has alreadyཧ presented its new light-blue colours for 2018 and riders and staff are currently in Pamplona for a pre-season camp.

Movistar have welcomed five new riders to the men's squad for the 2018 season with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Mikel Landa their marquee signing.

Landa is set to take up the role of Grand Tour team leader alongside Alejandro Valverde and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Nairo Quintana. Landa's arrival at the S🅘panish team appears to have rattled the cage of Quintana, who has recently sought to assert his authority as the overall team leader and stated in an interview that he would ultimately lead the squad at next year's Tour de France. Landa responded by saying that he h🀅ad hoped for a 'different welcome' from the Colombian.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Rafael Valls is another new inductee to the men's line-up after two seasons with Lotto-Soudal, alongside Eduardo Sepulveda, Jaime Roson, and n𓄧eo-pro Jaime Castrillo.

As well as Moreno, who could join Rigoberto Uran at EF Education First-Drapac, Movistar has said goodbye to the Herrada brothers Jose and Jesus (to Cofidis), Jonathanꦚ Castroviejo (Team Sky), Gorka Izagirre (Bahrain-Merida), Rory Sutherland (UAE Team Emirates) and Alex Dowsett (Katusha-Alpecin).

Adriano Malori has also left the team after he was forced to retire due to the aftereffects of his accident at last yearཧ's Tour de San Luis.
