Movistar Team's awakening after Matteo Jorgenson's criticism? Improvements arrive in the performance team
CyclingWednesday, 25 October 2023 at 12:00
Movistar Team, aware of the need to further develop the performance of its riders, has decided to take significant steps to optimize its performance team ahead of the 2024 season. Matteo Jorgenson's recent criticisms seem to have been a wake-up call, and despite the low-key departure of Patxi Vila, who was apparently not allowed to work, the Spanish team has decided to take a new approach to its preparation.
Movistar Team 2024's pre-season training camp at Castillo de Gorráiz, Pamplona, marks the beginning of the restructuring of the team's technical structure for its 45th season in cycling's elite.
The Performance team will be led by two widely recognized experts, Iván Velasco and Xabier Muriel, who have been part of Abarca Sports in recent years. This technical team will have a number of specialized coaches, including Víctor Rodríguez Rielves, specialized in biomechanics, Higinio Fernández, who will make the jump from the auxiliary group to performance, Jürgen Roelandts, who will continue to lead the men's team, Leonardo Piepoli, as well as two new additions: David Barranco and Alexis Gandía.
Movistar Team focuses on progress in crucial aspects such as nutrition. To this end, it has hired two full-time nutrition specialists, José Carlos Núñez and Miguel Górriz, who will work alongside the men's and women's teams during the racing season.
The team of directors in the men's category is completed with Muriel, Velasco, Roelandts and Gandía, in addition to well-known figures such as Chente García Acosta, Pablo Lastras and Maximilian Sciandri, along with the recently announced José Joaquín Rojas.
In the women's team, under the direction of Sebastián Unzué, Jorge Sanz will continue to be sports director and coach some members of the group. In addition, an experienced coach, Tim Harris, British cross-country road champion, who has served as sports director at Bahrain Victorious and EF - TIBCO - SVB in previous years, has joined the team.
Movistar Team is focused on optimizing the performance of its riders and raising its competitiveness in the elite of world cycling. With these changes and new additions, the Spanish team hopes to take a step forward in its quest for success next season.

- 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
