Team Meeting

All 25 riders from the telephone squad meet up for the first time during five days of meetings on Navarran soil with a busy schedule

The twenty-five riders that will defend Movistar Team’s jersey in the 2013 season will be gathering for the very first time today and until Friday with a view to prepare all details of a calendar kicking off in just two months’ time. Medical and biomechanical tests, complete analysis, meetings between the different team members, private encounters with the squad’s sponsors and the making of all audiovisual material for the next year will mark the busy schedule for the Movistar Team riders, together with all staff members -a group of more than 50 people will be meeting up- to make the Hotel Castillo de Gorráiz, in the outskirts of Pamplona, their headquarters for these five days.
