Movistar led by Colombian stars at Giro d'Italia! Nairo Quintana and Fernando Gaviria aim for stages; Einer Rubio dreams of GC success

As expected, Movistar Team's lineup announcement for the 2024 Giro d'Italia will feature Nairo Quintana in its return to Grand Tour competition. The 34-year-old veteran rider will lead the Colombian hopes in search of stage wins, alongside Einer Rubio in the general classification and Fernando Gaviria for the peloton sprints.
Team Spanish team will be looking for a good performance in a Corsa Rosa where they need to score UCI points to avoid sinking in the standings. The line-up is completed by Pelayo Sánchez, Lorenzo Milesi, Will Barta, Davide Cimolai and Albert Torres.
Movistar is in a very delicate situation, and although it is far from aspiring to the overall victory with Tadej Pogacar and his UAE Team Emirates, the Spanish team will have to make the most of their chances, which they will have.
Regarding Nairo's return to a Grand Tour, Quintana himself confirmed in one of his last statements that he is not in the most ideal shape for the Giro d'Italia. That's why he decided to change his plans about his impact on the race with the aim of adopting a 'stage-hunter' role and leaving the overall aspirations to Einer Rubio.
With this, Nairo Quintana's thought is to arrive as optimal as possible to the Vuelta a España, where Movistar Team is always obliged to make a great performance, where he will compete for the general classification, and in principle as a double leader with Enric Mas.
As for Gaviria, the sprinter will be looking to make up for a 2023 edition of the Giro d'Italia where he didn't even come close to a sprint stage win, where he will be supported by his right-hand man Torres and Italian sprinter Davide Cimolai.
Movistar Team lineup for the Giro d'Italia 2024:
Nairo Quintana
Einer Rubio
Fernando Gaviria
Will Barta
Albert Torres
Pelayo Sanchez

- 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
