Oier Lazkano and Iván García Cortina lead Movistar's high ambitions at Tour of Flanders
CyclingFriday, 29 March 2024 at 22:00
Movistar Team has unveiled its final '7' for the Tour of Flanders 2024, which will be led by Oier Lazkano and Iván García Cortina. The team is hopeful for the second monument of the season due to the absence of many of the favorites to win the race such as Wout van Aert, Tadej Pogacar or Jasper Stuyven.
Other men like Rémi Cavagna could also have something to say. Carlos Canal, Albert Torres, Johan Jacobs and Lorenzo Milesi round out the Spanish team in search of a result in Belgium, with ambitions higher than those of most years.
It must be said that the very hard ramps to be faced in the Ronde van Vlaanderen are perhaps less suited to Cortina's characteristics and that the Asturian could be Movistar's main bullet in Roubaix while this Sunday the baton should be carried by Oier Lazkano who gave very good impressions in Gent-Wevelgem and other classics, who will surely want to be a protagonist again.
MOVISTAR TEAM FOR TOUR DE FLANDERS 2024:
- Oier Lazkano
- Iván García Cortina
- Carlos Canal
- Albert Torres
- Johan Jacobs
- Rémi Cavagna
- Lorenzo Milesi

- That's confidence. And also probably a desire to not have people shouting in your ear makes things calmer, which could help with the focus.RidesHills18-07-2025

parisbound0018-07-2025 - Remco is not having a good year, that crash he had last December looks to have hurt him more than most thought. It looks like Lipowitz has the foundation to climb on the podium in Paris, he is a really good climber, that kid doesn't quit. Loved watching Tadej and Jonas go at it today, can't wait for tomorrow.awp18-07-2025
- Watching Van der Poel win San Remo and Roubaix was a big deal, in that it highlighted the competition out there, the amazing level at which he and Pogacar are. It seems that the concussion this year has knocked Vingegaard back just enough that he is unable to meet his 2022 or 2023 performance, and that's a shame. That a single guy can be better than the best classics rider (compare their results from 2021 onward, mostly because both are choosy in what they race ) and also better than the best Tour rider of 22-23, and it's just kind of insane. Does him winning get boring? I wait to see how it happens, then I start focusing on the other riders and competitions and so on. (My favorite is still when the breakaway actually wins, always the best.)RidesHills18-07-2025
- I hope so, I hope he's less performing only because the spring concussion but I'm afraid he had permanent damage from Catalunya crash. Yes, Tadej won but mainly, Jonas lost. The exactly same climb, 2 minutes slower than 2022 is very bad. The Visma strategy maybe is the result of them knowing that Jonas lost part of his awesome climbing skill.

- if it weren’t for mathieu van der poel, pogačar would win every single race he wants to, every single year. a level of dominance this sport has really never seen. good god i’m bored, just crushingly bored. i’m genuinely happy for those who revel in pog’s every victory. i am. and the fact that i’m bored isn’t anyone else’s problem. what looked like a great golden age of cycling competition two years ago now looks, to me, like watching paint dry. i expect zero sympathy.OCexile18-07-2025
- Makes some kind of sense. Black jersey seems like winter kit to me.mobk18-07-2025
