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.

- Maybe you are overrating GT GC?Mistermaumau24-05-2025
- No, but now he’s started considering it at least. Maybe they were smart enough to propose a family holiday so he couldn’t use not wanting to be separated as an excuse? He’s a bit like Vingo when it comes to priorities, Vingo being the only one who gets shit for it even though there was someone doing pretty much the same not so long ago who never got any stick for it.Mistermaumau24-05-2025
- Agreed, there’s still a big difference between hanging on behind and staying ahead. Sure he’s improved enormously but he needs them to have a really bad day to beat them in anything but tve most favourable terrain.Mistermaumau24-05-2025
