Movement has been quiet in the Movistar camp with announcements for their 2024 men’sꦺ team coming few and far between since the transfer window opened on August 1. But the Spanish team has finally shared the news on their r൩oster, with 20 of their 30 riders for the coming season revealed.
Eight riders were already contracted through 2024 including some of the team’s core riders in GC leader 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Enric Mas, versatile puncheur Alex Aranburu and Spanish National Champion 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Oier Lazkano.
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Iván García Cortina, Mathias Norsgaard, Gonzalo Serrano and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Einer Rubio are part of the longer-term futu𝓰re at the team and signed on until 2026, with Rubio taking two huge WorldTour level wins in 2023 at the UAE Tour and Giro d’Italia.
The Sp🅺anish side explained there would be more news in the coming days, with 10 remaining spots available and no new transfers annou🐲nced in the two months they could have been.
“With onl꧅y a few names missing for next year, which will also be announced in the upcoming days, Movistar Team confirms to have configured a rejuvenated squad, with plenty of quality and experience as well as room for improvement and excitement in the Blues’ 45th season in the peloton,” said Movistar in a press release.
The other eight riders extended for at least 2024 are Jorge Arcas, Will😼 Barta, Gregor Mühlberger, Antonio Pedrero, Nelson O🌄liveira (all until 2025), Johan Jacobs, Albert Torres and Fernando Gaviria, with the latter trio signing on one-year deals.
Movistar has lost some of their best riders in this transfer window with versatile young American 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Matteo Jorgenson making the jump to Jumbo൲-Visma and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Carlos Verona heading to Lidl-Trek, but have been at the centre of rumours with Carlos Rodríguez and Primož Roglič both linked to the Spanish side at times throughout the season.
Neither of those moves seems to have come to fruition with Roglič taking his talents to Bora-Hansgrohe and the Spanish GC star reportedly extending with Ineos Grenadiers despite initially signing a letter of intent to ride for the Spanish team.
The Spaniꦛsh team even addressed their complet💯e radio silence in terms of men’s team news on X/Twitter last week, thanking fans for their patience.
“We know that many of you are waiting for news - and some of you are upset by the wait – regarding our 2024 men's team,” Movist🔯ar said. “In a few days we will give you more information. We will talk first about our current staff and then about incorporations. Thanks for your patience.”
In contrast, the women’s team has seen significant transfer movement with British junior star Cat Ferguson mak💧ing the early step up to Wo🐻rldTour level at the Spanish team, joined also for the coming season by 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:compatriot Claire Steels and 19-year-old Span✃ish twins Laura and Lucía Ruiz Pérez.
