Stay as sponsor of the Spanish team

Spanish company remains the official insole provider and podology partner of the Blues next season, with biomechanical studies to the riders at their kickoff camp in Pamplona as main support in the new agreement.

Podoactiva and Movistar Team have extended their partnership for an additional season, the Aragón, Spain-based company set to continue taking care of the Blues’ men’s and women’s squad’s feet next year. After three seasons together, the leading company in podology and biomechanics continue with great excitement as they support one of the biggest teams in their home country.

The new extension will see Podoactiva offering the Blues their exclusive technology, Younext Bike, to optimize the performance and health of the riders on the bike, as well as 3D scans of their feet to design and produce custom insoles adapted to their efforts on the bike, offering more comfort and better breathability. The riders of the team will have Podoactiva’s doors open in their vast network across the country, with Podoactiva’s professionals an integral part of the Spanish team’s medical staff.

Podoactiva remains an innovative agent in prevention of injuries across elite sports, supporting some of the biggest references in Spanish sports, including the Movistar Team, which now starts its 44th season in cycling’s top tier.

Víctor Alfaro, CEO of the company, expressed the “pride of Podoactiva to be able to take care of the health of such a significant, historic squad as the Movistar Team. We tackle this new season with enormous excitement.” Eusebio Unzué, general manager for the Movistar Team, underlined that “remaining with Podoactiva by our side makes sure we can take care of our riders’ health from the very get-go of the season. Our feet are the main point of contact with our bikes, and being able to prevent any injuries, ensure correct performance and enhance their general wellness makes this partnership with Podoactiva so important to us.”

The Movistar Team’s men’s and women’s squads have already started their preparations for the 2023 season with a kickoff camp in Pamplona, which Podoactiva attended to take studies on the riders’ individual footprint before the beginning of the season. Javier Alfaro, technical director for Podoactiva, and Antonio Gómez, director of clinical investigations for the company, work together with the team spearheaded by Patxi Vila, head of performance for the Movistar Team, and Víctor Rodríguez Rielves, main biomechanic, to check on the riders’ feet and develop / produce the custom insoles every one of them needs.
