Although it seemed that Movistar Team was going to give everything to renew with Oier Lazkano at the end of the season, the head of the Spanish rider has been turned and according to the latest reports, a deal to sign for BORA - hansgrohe is done.
The news has been confirmed by Global Cycling News' Daniel Benson. Lazkano has reportedly reached a three-year deal with the German team. The Spaniard the latest rider to join up for Red Bull's big project despite Movistar telling him it would give its all to secure his renewal.
A stellar signing for the future of BORA.
The future of BORA - hansgrohe is looking brighter and brighter, not only thanks to the arrival of Spanish National Champion Lazkano, who has emerged as one of the great classics riders for both the present and the long term of his nation.
At 24 years old, Lazkano has performed at a very remarkable level in the spring classics. After winning the Clásica Jaén Paraíso Interior, the reigning Spanish road cycling champion was in the spotlight during races like the E3 Saxo Classic, where he was one of the few who could withstand the attacks of Mathieu van der Poel, and later in the Tour of Flanders itself, where only the Koppenberg prevented him from fighting for a victory that Van der Poel himself took solo by being one of the few who could withstand that climb on the bike.
The Movistar Team continues to unravel.
The lack of budget necessary to be able to compete with the main teams of the World Tour peloton continues to affect Movistar Team very much. The team already lost Matteo Jorgenson at the end of last season, something that couldn't have been better for the Visma - Lease a Bike rider. The American has already won Paris-Nice and Dwars door Vlaanderen, something that was unthinkable with Movistar.
In addition, Alex Aranburu will also leave Movistar Team at the end of this season to join a French team, most likely Cofidis. All bad news for a team that seemed to be getting out of the hole in this Giro d'Italia with the help of Pelayo Sanchez, Nairo Quintana and Einer Rubio.

- Somehow it has got into his mind that he is a GC rider. He is primarily a classics and stage rider who can perform on GC given his day. As a result he is wasting his time on TDF GC and once committed to GC you are too tired to do anything else.abstractengineer10-11-2026

- This is such a black eye to women's professional cyclocross if this result remains. Marie Schreiber won this race fairly. This finish is not unlike others in cyclocross. Lots of moving around to get to the finish not to cut anyone off , but to generate a sprint on soft wide tires caked with mud and sand. This is not nearly the same as a road race between two riders sprinting to the finish on faster bikes and thinner firmer tires. The powers in charge need to use some common sense, reverse this result and remember this is Cyclocross not Road racing. Unbelievable. . .Zencycle09-11-2026

Rafionain-Glas09-11-2026 - again, nothing is going to be resolved. it is a discussion board. I simply said I didn't see how MS impeded LBs sprint. the UCI doesn't care about my thoughts, and I am really not that emotionally invested in it.mij09-11-2026
