CyclingWednesday, 27 September 2023 at 13:00
Movistar Team is in the process of configuring its squad for next season. The Movistar Team outfit aims to start 2024 with a squad of 27 riders, Spanish sports daily Marca has reported, although it is far from that number at the moment.
Enric Mas, Alex Aranburu, Ruben Guerreiro, Oier Lazkano, Vinicius Rangel, Iván Romeo and Sergio Samitier are the ones who will remain in the team at 100% because they are the only ones who are currently under contract for next season;
DOUBTFUL.
The sporting future of cyclists such as Johan Jacobs, Iván García Cortina, Jorge Arcas, Will Barta, Fernando Gaviria, Einer Rubio, Antonio Pedrero, Gonzalo Serrano, Albert Torres, Gregor Mühlberger, Mathias Norsgaard and Nelson Oliveria is also in Movistar's hands. However, Eusebio Unzué, team manager, has not yet announced the renewal of the expiring contracts for these riders. It is likely that almost all of them will continue, although there could be some departures.
VETERANS.
The fate of two team veterans, José Joaquín Rojas (38 years old) and Imanol Erviti (39 years old), remains uncertain. Both experienced riders are evaluating their future careers in professional cycling. It is rumored that Erviti may be considering retirement, although the possibility of continuing for another year is not ruled out.
BOXES
In addition to the possible renewals and the unknowns surrounding the veterans, Movistar Team is preparing to say goodbye to some necessary riders at the end of this season. In recent weeks and months, the departures of Matteo Jorgenson (to Jumbo-Visma), Max Kanter (Astana Qazaqstan), Gorka Izagirre (Cofidis), Oscar Rodriguez (INEOS Grenadiers) and Carlos Verona (Lidl-Trek) have been announced.
The future of German cyclist Juri Hollman is also up in the air as he looks for a new destination. In addition, Abner Gonzalez and Movistar appear to be going their separate ways.
SIGNINGS
As for signings, Movistar has yet to make official announcements, but according to Marca, the team plans to add five new riders. They include Rémi Cavagna, Davide Formolo, Vuelta revelation Pelayo Sánchez, Carlos Canal and talented Italian Manlio Moro.
In addition, Javier Romo, currently with Astana Qazqstan, could also join the team. Movistar is also keeping a close eye on Caja Rural-Seguros RGA's Jon Barrenetxea, although the Basque cyclist is also in the sights of other teams such as Bahrain Victorious and Cofidis;

maria2024202422-11-2024 - It happens all to often. My crashes over time have yielded a broken neck, broken back, broken left leg, crush pelvis, three broken collarbones, broken right arm and I've even lost a rib. Somehow I still train and do some races every year, mainly time trials these days.awp22-11-2024
