Oier Lazkano has recently had a few extraordinary performances in the one-day races and is establishing himself as a very high quality classics rider. He will dream big in the cobbled classics, but for the time being the Spanish champion leads Movistar at Paris-Nice and is their biggest chance of success.
The Alava-born rider has been the best rider of the Spanish team at the beginning of the season and will be the leader in Paris-Nice after winning in Jaen and finishing on the podium in Kuurne. Ruben Guerreiro and Will Barta have both shown strong form recently and will be cards for the hilly and mountainous days.
Along with Lazkano, other riders will be preparing for the spring classics and can not only perform in the hilly days but some of the faster as well: Rémi Cavagna and the young Jon Barrenetxea in the more difficult days, wnhilst Johan Jacobs and Mathias Norsgaard are also expected to be in the middle of the action.
MOVISTAR TEAM FOR PARIS-NICE 2024:
- Oier Lazkano
- Rémi Cavagna
- Rúben Guerreiro
- Will Barta
- Jon Barretnetxea
- Johan Jacobs
- Mathias Norsgaard

- Do the 3 stooges: Armstrong, Bruyneel and Hincapie are invested somehow in this web site? Otherwise I completely can't understand. Nobody cares what they think or do. Let those 3 conmen sink to oblivionBM29-05-2025

- "I’m still in the game" What game??? It is not even visible unless a commentator biased towards british riders mentions him. He is not in GC Top 10. He is not in stage top3 either. So he is neither here nor there. Even the helpers of UAE are better than him. he seriously needs to reconsider GC dreamsabstractengineer29-05-2025
- That is just talk for the sake of talking. The real problem is NOBODY yet knows Del Toto’s place in the hierarchy so everyone is just guessing if and when things might change, and usually in hindsight, predictions further than one day ahead being pretty pointless seeing as even for the next stage most get it wrong most of the time.Mistermaumau29-05-2025

- That's certainly not true. Caruso (in 4th) is three minutes back and Storer (10th) is nearly eight. No one outside the top three has even a remote chance of winning (or, very likely, being anywhere near the final podium.)verve82529-05-2025
- Given the last week's inclinations - he's riding really well.. it's all to play for and they all know that to, any of the top 10 can win this

- You were wondering how come MVDP is rated higher by whoever and the way JM refers to a website. Obviously they’re all somehow ranking which means attributing a score to performance. As I said, no idea how but one reason he may be ranked higher is if more than just wins are counted. Like at the Olympics, some rank by gold, some prefer considering all medals, usually in order for a preferred country/athlete to look better. At some moment, in order to rank more than wins, every ranking or algorithm has to attribute points or value to different positions in order to tally and compare.Mistermaumau28-05-2025
