Cycling: The Spanish team Movistar has presented its complete squad for 2018. With a reduction in the men's squad from 28 to 25 drivers and a new women's team, they want to celebrate success again in the coming season.
The 35 squad of Team Movistar has a total of 2018 men and women. Among them a separate women's team with 10 riders. After Astana, FDJ, Lotto Soudal, Orica-Scott and Sunweb, Movistar is the sixth WorldTour team with a women's team in the coming season. In addition, the first insights into the jersey design, which will shine in light blue in the coming year, were allowed.

While the men's squad, which also includes the German Jasha Sütterlin, with drivers like Nairo Quintana, Alejandro Valverde and newcomer Mikel Landa should be among the best in the world, the women's squad is increasingly focusing on talent development and still wants to develop into a top racing team. This is partly due to the fact that the decision to open a women's team was made late in 2018. That's why you couldn't sign a really big driver.
Men's squad 2018: Andrey Amador, Winner Anacona, Jorge Arcas, Carlos Barbero, Daniele Bennati, Carlos Betancur, Nuno Bico, Richard Carapaz, Hector Carretero, Jaime Castrillo, Victor De La Parte, Imanol Erviti, Ruben Fernandez, Mikel Landa, Nelson Oliveira, Antonio Pedrero, Dayer Quintana, Nairo Quintana, Jose Joaquin Rojas, Jaime Roson, Eduardo Sepulveda, Marc Soler, Jasha Suetterlin, Rafa Valls, Alejandro Valverde
Women squad 2018: Aude Biannic, Mavi Garcia, Alicia Gonzalez, Malgorzata Jasinska, Lorena Llamas, Eider Merino, Rachel Neylan, Lourdes Oyarbide, Gloria Rodriguez, Alba Teruel
We're happy to confirm our 35-rider roster for 2018, including our final women's team signing Gloria Rodríguez Sánchez and Dayer Quintana Rojas' contract extension!
