Colombian fear after Davide Formolo's signing by Movistar Team: Does it jeopardize Einer Rubio's leadership capacity?
CyclingFriday, 20 October 2023 at 22:00
Movistar Team is immersed in a restructuring phase with a view to the 2024 season. After an irregular season, the Spanish team aims to regain its position among the strongest in the peloton and has embarked on an ambitious signing process to achieve this goal. However, one of the most recent acquisitions has generated some uncertainty among fans and Colombian media such as 'Antena 2'.
These days are being announced notable additions to the telephone team. One of them has been Davide Formolo, who is coming from a great season with UAE Team Emirates.
Formolo, almost 31, is an Italian cyclist with a palmarès that includes victories in the Veneto Classic and the Coppa Agostoni in 2023, as well as stage wins in the Critérium du Dauphiné, the Vuelta a Catalunya and the Giro d'Italia. He also holds the title of Italian road champion in 2019 and a runner-up finish in 2014. In terms of grand tours, Formolo has achieved three 'top 10' finishes, with outstanding performances in the Giro d'Italia and the Vuelta a España.
The addition of this rider, while not placing them as 'leaders of the ranks', raises a relevant question for Colombian fans: could Davide Formolo come to compete with Einer Rubio for the role of second-in-command behind Enric Mas? We'll see in 2024...

- You continue to platform these two cheats. With that in mind I can no longer use your site. I know my leaving means little, but, sometimes you have to take a stand. See ya!DJ21-12-2024
- Look at what Froome’s won since his last TdF, stop denying there is still more than possible one outcome to the future.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- Bruyneel understands nothing about clean competition.Sweep21-12-2024
- Exactly. Remco won 3 WT races/stages last year compared to Pogocar's 19. Remco's single stage win in last years TdF earned him a meager 12 seconds over Pogocar who shellac'd him by 9 minutes in GC.Sweep21-12-2024
- Fortunately and as you point out, more than one strategy is possible and worth trying and I’m sure all concerned riders are well informed and counselled on this subject and don’t need such basic personal advice through media from an outsider.Mistermaumau21-12-2024
- The main SPOTY award is "decided" by public vote but the BBC "expert panel" decide who you can choose from, that choice has an equal split of genders and is focussed on the sports BBC show and a disabled athlete. Oh yea the ubiquitous "Pub Games" candidate there too, Darts and Snooker are not sports. The other awards are decided by the "Expert Panel" again it's about the sports BBC show, cycling has had it. Cav got his for his years and achievements in the sport, not just that 35th TDF win. Unless the BBC get access to Pro Cycling it will never feature "adequately" on SPOTYslappers6621-12-2024

- Avoiding him is a good strategy, you get more wins and then you can compete in the TDF relatively relaxed. Pit yourself against Pogi and not only there will be no wins, it will be considerable mental setbackabstractengineer21-12-2024
