Eusebio Unzué, the head of Movistar Team, gave an interview to the colleagues of the newspaper Marca, who initially asked him about the acquisition by Saudi Arabia of a percentage of Telefónica and whether that could end up meaning that the Saudis would enter as sponsors in the cycling team, although the Navarrese did not release anything.
In addition, Eusebio discussed with Nacho Labarga other current issues of the Vuelta a España and Enric Mas' chances of finishing on top:

TEST ON WEDNESDAY AND THE TOURMALET.
"This Wednesday we have a new test to see the best riders in the final. But above all on Friday, Saturday and Sunday there are good stages like Lekunberri".
OBJECTIVE.
"Apart from the fact that it's at home, which it's not, they are two great stages where they will be a real test. We'll see what the differences are between the best riders. Let's see if we are capable of taking these two days among the best and we can beat them".
PODIUM FOR ENRIC MAS
"It's the initial objective. Seeing the participation we think we can fight for it, but after these 10 stages the group of favorites we have already seen the level they have. Both Remco and Roglic, who seems to be the strongest man in the race. Vingegaard is not the one from the Tour, but he is still one of the three strongest. But the real test is going to be the arrival at the Tourmalet and then Saturday, where there's ground to try things if we can."
CARLOS RODRÍGUEZ.
"Leave it. When I can answer these things, I will. Nowadays you can't say anything."

- I had no idea about that either.
santiagobenites10-11-2026 - great analysis thanks! appreciate you posting this. I didn't realize CX had a different standard for deviation. this is even more egregious it seems.mij10-11-2026
- As he isn't currently with Red Bull, I guess if he want to race for one more year he needs to find a team. He's 37 so this will be his last year I would guess, unless he wants to race for almost nothing like Froome did.awp10-11-2026
- I think some are making much ado about nothing. Even though Jonas is getting older, before his crash in the Tour, he looked like a solid 2nd all the way home. No one can really climb with Tadej until this year, Eric Mas showed himself which I think was a one off year for him and Paul Seixas has been able to be pretty close to him. Whatever stage race Jonas enters as long as Tadej is not there he is a favorite to win.awp10-11-2026
- Giro or not Giro, he won't win the Tour!MajorPayne10-11-2026
- Very true.awp10-11-2026
- Ciccone had a very strong end of season. Consistently attacking and livening up races. Hope he makes that last leap in progress and starts notching some significant wins. Great rider to watch.Occam10-11-2026
- Me too!!!!!Occam10-11-2026
- they can sign any 100 of top riders today but Pogi will win over Remco any time at the TDF unless something goes wrongabstractengineer10-11-2026
- the time for a GC rider to retire is when they cannot win stages, or have a significant level drop like from winner/podium into top 5/10 consistently. Roglic is still competitive and Froome raced even though he became pack fodder.abstractengineer10-11-2026
