🚨 Not expecting any major news from Movistar today but Fernando Gaviria is on course to extend his contract beyond 2024. The team have been really impressed with him this year. 🇨🇴🇪🇸
Fernando Gaviria very likely to stay for at least one more year in Movistar Team after great 2024 campaign

Fernando Gaviria will remain with Movistar Team for another year. Or at least that's what cycling market journalist Daniel Benson has hinted at. The truth is that the rider from La Ceja, despite the fact that he has only raised his arms once this season, has scored a great haul of points for the Spanish team in both the Giro d'Italia and the Tour de France.
Gaviria started the season in a sensational way winning his first race at the Tour Colombia. Then he achieved three top 10s in the UAE Tour and came 14th in the Classic Brugge-De Panne. At the Giro, he signed up to five top 10s, including a fourth place on the final stage in Rome, being the Movistar rider with more accumulated points.
He did even better at the Tour, where he locked in three top 5s including a second and a third place. Although he fell apart in the last week, he also ended up giving a big points haul to the team. So, we can say that Gaviria is key for Movistar as at this moment there is no risk of losing the WorldTour license.
At 29 years old, Fernando Gaviria is still dreaming of becoming the great sprinter he was five years ago, when he won five stages in the Giro d'Italia and two in the Tour de France. His last years in UAE Team Emirates were not good and in these two campaigns in Movistar Team it seems that little by little he has been regaining confidence in his possibilities. Undoubtedly, after the podiums obtained this year, the goal in 2025 should be to return to win a stage in a grand tour.
Normally, the renewal would be for one more season. Yesterday we already published other Movistar movements: the departures of Alex Aranburu and Ivan Sosa were confirmed, as well as the renewal of Nairo Quintana.

- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point.
