The world of cycling in Spain is preparing for an exciting chapter with the union of two giants of the sport in the country.
Movistar Team and Cafés Baqué have announced their alliance to support and promote youth cycling in the 2024 season and beyond.
The news represents a milestone in Spanish cycling, as it unites two structures with a long tradition in the sport of two wheels. Movistar Team's commitment to local and grassroots cycling has remained constant throughout its history, and now extends to the collaboration with Elkar Kirolak, a school that is closely linked to Cafés Baqué, a team with an impressive track record that was founded in 1978.
This long-term collaboration agreement guarantees the support of Abarca Sports, the company behind Movistar Team, to the Cafés Baqué men's and women's youth teams. Both teams will benefit from this alliance, which will allow for the further development and growth of youth cycling in Spain.
Cafés Baqué's young cyclists will have the support of several of Movistar Team's sponsors, including the use of Canyon bicycles as the official bikes, as well as 226ERS nutrition products. In addition, the iconic "M" of Movistar, one of the main sponsors of Abarca Sports, will appear on the official clothing of both teams, further consolidating the union between these two teams.
This exciting agreement not only strengthens the relationship between Movistar Team and Cafés Baqué, but also reaffirms their commitment to youth cycling in Spain. Cafés Baqué, with more than four decades of experience in cycling, has decided to take an important step into the youth echelon, marking a new beginning in its long history in the sport.
The union of Movistar Team and Cafés Baqué represents a turning point in Spanish youth cycling, as it combines the experience and knowledge of two of the oldest and most respected structures in amateur and professional sport in Spain. Together, they will work on detecting and fostering cycling talent in the country, promoting a bright future for Spanish cycling.
