Burgos BH presents the majority of its team: "During these days we try to have personal talks with each of the riders"
CyclingThursday, 23 November 2023 at 14:30
Burgos BH has marked its territory in the capital of Burgos this week, gathering its team and staff to outline the plans that will mark its route in the next cycling season.
From November 20 to 22, the Hotel Ciudad de Burgos became the epicentre of this first contact, where the cyclists and their technical team immersed themselves in a meticulous preparation process.
Physical preparation and medical examinations.
The foundation was laid at the Recoletas Hospital, where the athletes submitted their bodies to medical scrutiny, ensuring that they are in optimal condition for the next challenge. While the pedals were temporarily put aside, the focus was on physical work sessions guided by Víctor de la Calle, the team's trainer.
Conferences and outreach with sponsors.
The technical exchange was not limited to the physical field. Group technical talks nurtured strategic planning, while meetings with sponsors such as Ekoï or Victory Endurance strengthened the ties that will drive the team during the season. A welcome lunch served as a relaxed meeting between directors, prominent sponsors and important figures such as the mayoress of Burgos, Cristina Ayala, and the president of the Provincial Council, Borja Suárez.
A cultural day: Atapuerca
Beyond the asphalt, Wednesday took the cyclists to explore the Atapuerca mountain range, a fascinating archaeological site that houses ancient human remains, adding a cultural touch to the sporting agenda.
The team: Familiar faces and new horizons.
Of the team's 21 cyclists, 15 took part in this training camp. Figures such as Jesús Ezquerra, Ángel Fuentes, Rodrigo Álvarez, and other familiar faces were mixed with recent additions such as David Delgado, Sinuhé Fernández, Georgios Bouglas and Jambaljamts Sainbayar. The absence of some, such as Felipe Orts and Sebastián Mora, was justified by their commitments in other cycling modalities, promising to join the group soon.
Technical director's words.
David Cantera, technical director of the team, highlighted the importance of this concentration as the first step towards the cohesion of the group and the alignment of objectives. He emphasized the relevance of personal talks to outline the general and particular outlook of each cyclist, outlining expectations and schedules for the upcoming season:
"It is the usual concentration we do at the beginning of the season. It's a bit of cohesion of the group, getting to know the new faces of the team and giving the basic brushstrokes of the beginning of the sport course. During these days we try to have personal talks with each of the riders to explain the dynamics of the team, what will be the general and particular calendar they will have and what we expect from their work throughout the season".

- It will be just a waste of time to finish out of the podium. Giro Vuelta makes a better choiceabstractengineer19-11-2024
- I would agree, top 3 with Remco improving and snapping at his heels. I just wish he wouldn't keep crashing in the TDF.Pedalmasher19-11-2024
- Backstedt and Schreiber are not juniors they are under 23. There were I think about 7 or 8 juniors in this race. Under the current rules a race that has juniors in can't go over 45 minutes. The winning time was 43.53 so the timing was correct. The organisers are in the wrong because they should be putting on a juniors race and then we wouldn't be in this situation as the timings for the elite race would be 50 minutes, not 45.NorrisHippocampe19-11-2024
- It's everywhere. Just like it was before. But we can just pretend it isn't. Just like we did before.Sweep19-11-2024
- Not a top 4 GT rider? He's got more GT wins (just not at the Tour) than any viable active rider (Froome not included). Were it not for his team messing it up for him, he'd have won the Vuelta even more often. He's a bizarrely accident prone, deeply conservative rider, but it delivers. He's also one of the best 1-week GC riders in the peloton. The man may not be Pogacar or Vingegaard (who is?), but he is definitely in the top 3 of the field, right now.RidesHills19-11-2024
- Nobody is saying that he is tin he Top 4 GT riders but nobdy is also saying he is capable of winning the TDF in the presence of Pog and Jonas. He was already fairly blown away before his crash and if we assume that Bora hired him to win the TDF, then it would not be considered a success. That he won the Vuelta only make it not a total fail.abstractengineer19-11-2024
- "The viewing and visitor figures are both better than when they were riding" - what a BS. Please compare (and only then) visitor figures during current season vs when WvA and MvdP are back in December (hopefully!) otherwise you are comparing oranges to apples.averagecyclist19-11-2024
- I counted 16 riders under 24 out of 43 that started. Once was only 16 ! Two of the top riders are Zoe and Schreiber and both under 23 yet that have done 50 min races in the past with the elites so I think it's just bad clock management. Let them race 50 freakin' minutes! One more lap could have made a big dffierence most times in the podium and winner.frieders319-11-2024
- He needs to finish out his contract and then go hit MTB and Cross/Gravel really hard, that's where his heart is.awp18-11-2024
