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

- He won't win the TDF unless Pogi messes up somehow. Pogačar didn't have a team when Vingo beat him. Now, the teams are near even and head to head Pogačar is just a better ridermd197503-07-2025
- Guy is a great classic rider, if he concentrated on a GT only I think he could win one. However, he would have to be all in to try. I like him great ridermd197503-07-2025
- To win of top 3, he needs support. A d according to the roster, they are taking a sprinter and lead out man. So, come time to climb, Remco is down 2 team members for support. To win a race like the TDF you need skill, luck (illness and falls), directions from the team and more than anything a team built to be your support on flat and then climbs. Not be out manned before you even see a climbmd197503-07-2025
- I agree, the big GC guys are there, but looking at the list, it seems a bit few teams with real GC ambitions. Or is it normal, half of the team are only there for stagesRide197402-07-2025
- Win all of the first 10 stages? Or does he mean that the profile of all of those 10 stages are suited for a win by Wout? If they mean winning 10 stages, they're banking on MVDP, Milan, and a few others to crash out on stage one. Maybe something was lost in translation.Ride197402-07-2025
- The problem is that grand tours are not always won by the best riders. In the 2025 Giro d'italia, Carapaz was the strongest rider - but Simon Yates and Del Toro had really good days on Stages 20 and 9 respectively, so they both finished ahead of him
Llywelynglyndwr02-07-2025 - God what an a hole - why does this site insist on giving a platform to these pundits who have never won a race ?Crashjames02-07-2025
- Jonas admires Tadej, he has said repeatedly he is fascinated watching him racing the classics. Normal, any intellectually honest person admire such a generational talent who's been astounding the world with his incredible versatility since he was 18-19 y.o.
maria2024202402-07-2025 - Agreed. It's a shame to watch such a talented and versatile rider spending ... 90% ?... of his resources being a domestique. FREE WOUT!!! ahahah.maria2024202402-07-2025
