Movistar lost two of its most important men from last year, Oier Lazkano and Alex Aranburu, but it seems that rather than missing them at the start of 2025, it is the riders who are missing riding for the team. This is certainly not how things were expected to pan out.
So far, neither Aranburu at Cofidis nor Lazkano at Red Bull - BORA - hansgrohe have started the season with too much success. On the other hand, Movistar Team is finding results with their substitutes like Iván Romeo, Javi Romo or Jon Barrenetxea, who are performing at a high level in the early stages of the year.

- Actually, this should be normal, and would make cycling more interesting, it’s just that over the last period, racing has become more predictable, either because a couple of participants are above the rest or because there is a lack of will to attack outside planned strategy. I’m a bit surprised to hear it described as confusing though seeing as you have hours in every stage to watch how the virtual table evolves.Mistermaumau26-04-2025

- The thing about Pog - he's lost these races PR, Amstel by mistakes, pure strength doesn't leave him...he's like a big strong guy but lean!
leedorney26-04-2025 - The conditions were difficult this time. Pogi is good in those conditions. Just because of two instances you wants to change the iconic finish doesn't make any sense. Valverde and Anna van der Breggen have also won multiple timesabstractengineer26-04-2025
- I got confused tracking the Tour of the Alps. One day one GC rider gained a minute or two over the field, next day another one, then yet another one - it's not normal, everything was so unpredictable.Ride197426-04-2025

- Excellent on so many levels. If people are right, Seixas will have plenty of wins in the future. But to give a long time domestique a chance for his first win? That’s a space for loyalty and admiration - and that’s a source for many future wins. Super cool.RidesHills26-04-2025
