2025 SPONSORSHIP AGREEMENT
The cyclists of Movistar Team will use CORE sensors for the fifth consecutive season as a fundamental tool to achieve peak performance in any weather condition. From Spring 2025, riders will be using the new CORE 2 body temperature sensor during training and in races to minimize the decline of a rider's maximum performance due to overheating.
CORE is the first wearable of its kind that is completely non-invasive, a technical advantage that allows athletes of all types to obtain real-time data on their core body temperature and skin temperature, as well as metrics and scores related to heat-induced fatigue.
The Movistar Team use CORE temperature sensors to optimize their training and adopt strategies to enhance performance, hydration, and body cooling, enabling them to perform at their best under adverse weather conditions. By incorporating CORE into their training, the Telefónica squad maintains an optimal core body temperature during critical moments, significantly improving their performance in both cold and extreme heat conditions.
Ross McGraw, Global VP and Head of CORE: ““We are thrilled to continue our partnership with Movistar Team, supporting their riders as they push the limits of performance. At CORE, we understand that managing heat stress is critical—not just for preparation for racing in an increasingly hot world, but for building performance with heat training. By integrating CORE’s technology, the team gains real-time insights to fine-tune training, adapt to extreme temperatures, and build fitness for peak performance when it matters most. We look forward to another season of innovation and success together.””
Xabier Muriel, Head of Performance at Movistar Team: “During the preseason, we worked under extreme heat conditions to prepare for the early races in Australia, where it is currently summer. With the CORE body sensor, we not only measure the cyclists’ internal and skin temperatures but also how they dissipate the heat.”
