Movistar sign under-23 time-trial champion Lorenzo Milesi - Team DSM-Firmenich rider breaks contract to join Spanish team

Team DSM-Firmenich lose yet another rider from their roster of youngsters. After months of speculation, under-23 time-trial World champion Lorenzo Milesi will join Movistar Team from next season onwards.
Multiple sources within the cycling world have confirmed the news. Although it is not public, as teams take on training camps it is very possible that the Italian is currently training with Movistar, and his absence was noticed from the Team DSM-Firmenich camp - although this is speculative.
The transfer does not come as a big surprise. Milesi had been heavily hinted to be joining INEOS Grenadiers over the past few months who seek to become the leading team when it comes to time-trials. They have significantly boosted their lineup however and the deal was never agreed on. Despite having a contract until 2025, this will end - as many in the past have - prematurely.
Milesi is one of the brightest time-trialists emerging in the peloton but is also a quality rider outside of it, having impressed in the road race in Glasgow this season where he finished fifth in the under-23 event. He also led the Vuelta a Espana after the Dutch team surprised on the opening day.

- 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. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
