Fernando Gaviria set to continue pro career with Spanish Pro Team in 2026

Fernando Gaviria is one of the riders that is not getting a new contract with Movistar Team, after Spain's only World Tour team renewed with Orluis Aular whom they're betting on. However the Colombian, after a few unsuccessful seasons, is not hanging up the wheels just yet as he seems set to join Caja Rural - Seguros RGA.
Gaviria has been one of the most successful sprinters of the 2010's, but none of his major results have taken place in this decade. The Colombian is by no means old, at just 31 years of age, but his golden years are well behind. He is a five-time stage winner and also points classification winner at the Giro d'Italia; as well as a two-time stage-winner at the Tour de France - which happened on the 2018 edition. However after 2018 he left Soudal - Quick-Step towards UAE Team Emirates - XRG, where his performance in the bigger picture began to decline.
With over 50 pro wins to his name, Gaviria has left a name for himself in the modern peloton, but he has only won two World Tour races since the 2020 season and his last triumph was at the Tour Colombia, in February of 2024. He won on three occasions since joining Movistar in 2023, averaging one victory per season, far from ideal for the leader of a World Tour team. Elsewhere, the team has also struggled to perform, whilst the suspension of Oier Lazkano has brought the team further reputational obstacles.
In 2025 Gaviria was mostly absent from action, not making it into the selection of any Grand Tour and having as his best result a fourth place at the Baloise Belgium Tour's opening stage. In the context of many sprinters such as Elia Viviani, Alexander Kristoff, Arnaud Démare, Caleb Ewan, Giacomo Nizzolo and more retiring - men who dominated the sprints last decade - Gaviria could head down the same path. But according to AS, the rumoured move to Caja Rural - which has been ongoing for weeks - may be put to paper and officialized already this week, where Gaviria can boost the team's chances of getting a Vuelta a España wildcard against an ever-growing ProTeam competition.

- Since the 1920's, post BalfourDeclaration attacks on the Semitic Palestinians grew slowly up to ~ 1938. The Balfour Declaration was an unofficial promise to the Zionists of the Mandate Palestine land. Why unofficial? The letter by Lord Balfour was not signed on official stationary , which would have the H.R.M. Seal. The "gift" was fraudulent! The immigration of European Jews, ALL not Semites, began the militaristic and terroristic occupation of Palestinian lands, butressed by The WW2 "winners" which was reluctant to intervene due to the Nurenberg Trials, as the narrative of a genocide was fresh in everyone's minds. The oppression began ~ 100 years ago; the severe barbarity ~ 80 years ago, culminating in the 100,000+ ethnic cleansing/genocide of the real owners of the Semitic lands of Palestine at present. It was very hard to take watching pro racing with the Israel team competing. Good Riddance!bike-anarkist08-12-2025

- The "occupation" in Gaza had lasted from 1967 to 2005, making it at most two generations. The Hamas is a Jihad organization sworn to a holy war against Infidels whether they are Jews, Christian, Hindu or in worship of the flying spaghetti monster, even Muslims themselves. It is part of the global Muslim Brotherhood movement founded in Egypt almost 100 years ago (and banned since) which advocate an agenda to speared Islam across the world, educationally, financially, politically and finally if needed in violent manners. It's very vocal in Jordan and other places, and in ties power in Turkey and Qatar. They even don't acknowledge Jews right to have their own country and calls for their eradication (a view which is now popular and legitimate considered legitimate thanks to social media influence campaigns and others). Arabs in Israel have civil rights which you hardly can say about any other Muslim country in the world (as for discrimination, one can argue, as I've no idea). The fact the you cite Hamas cheap propaganda says maybe you are pro Hamas after all.BM07-12-2025

- NOBODY here is pro Hamas but Hamas is the RESULT of 4 generations of occupation, theft, discrimination, war crimes and the international community’s resistance to imposing a lasting solution, which sorry but if someone had some balls and will, would be pretty easy to start in weeks and build on as things would calm down and simplify. North and South Korea have managed avoiding war for almost as long as this has lasted.Mistermaumau07-12-2025
