However I don't understand why they renew his contract!
If 'Movistar is trying to keep this silent', why do they keep putting him on start lists at all?Escarabajo said:Movistar is trying to keep this silent.

Popchu said:Today, Carlos Betancur posted on Instagram a picture of a group ride with Movistar in Mallorca. A few days earlier, he was not announced in the 'line-up' for this mini training camp though. Nonetheless, I think I recognize his contours in that Instagrampicture, and it would be very weird to post a picture where he is not part of. But we have seen stranger things with Betancur, so I don't know.
It would be very good if he is training with the team this early in the year. It would be better if he rides Tour Colombia 2.1 in a few weeks. Yesterday, the official page of that race announced him and he is also on the provisional start list, but we all knows this means nothing with Betancur.

Usually there's just silence from him.
