New Movistar America Continental

[Hector]

Hi, I´m Hector from Colombia. This is my first time in the forum. A pleasure!

Movistar will build a continental team in Colombia and America with many .2 races and events in Colombia.

In Colombia sounds rider like Gregory Brenes from CR, Guama from ECU, and colombians like Sebas Tamayo (brother of Carmioro rider), Edward Beltran like promissing rider or Jeffry Romero. People know some more? Also Walter Pedraza sounds in the list of the team. I suppose they prefer U25 riders and U23 but some rider like Walter with experience.

Henao was asked by this team but I think is not possible he signed with Orgullo paisa again for 2011...

to be honest henao will never sign there he makes way too much money in orgullo he would only leave for a pro tour team and rightfully so. he's had many offers from gianetit but refuses them all.

pedraza sucks in the last 5 years I hope he's not in he probably goes back to racing with nectar cundinamarca

I think they will have 15 riders and one rider from every big country, so at leats one mexican, brazilian, argentinean, chilean, venezuela and rest mostly colombians or othe rbig talents. we will see who they can get it's not that easy as they are all pro's anyway.

I thionk they will go for u23 riders only

Atenciones señores y señoritas

More about the subsidiary Movistar 2 Continental+.
The team will have its basis in Colombia and will count 15 riders. Consisting of eight or nine Colombians, two Venezuelans, two Mexicans, one Brazilian and one Ecuadorian.

Five Colombians have already signed a contract. The other two Colombians are currently riding in Europe for ...
During the Clasico RCN will the names be publicized of all 15 members from whom the most, if not all will be lined up for that race..

One big surprise is Sergio Luis Henao (22)
Who had received sweet offers from Team Sky, Cafe de Colombia and Movistar Pro-Tour, but then at first decided to stay loyal to his current team. Henao perhaps changed his mind, to become one of those Colombians for the South American Movistar 2 Conti+ team, and will at the end of 2011 (fuera a parar a Europa a finales de 2011)) melt in with Movistar 1 (PT), to become a big Movistar to ride the Vuelta.

OMG. Movistar will have Henao in 2011. THat will be 1 hell of a team. Leaders - Valverde, Henao. And you seem so adamant that they will have Contador as well.

to be honest henao will never sign there he makes way too much money in orgullo he would only leave for a pro tour team and rightfully so.

wowww...perhaps some riders from Orgullo Paisa will sign with Movistar like Henao or BEtancur also...from Antioquia...

I dont know, but they need big riders and Pantano, Quintana, Atapuma will race for Colombia es Pasion. Perhaps Beltran if he makes great Worlds could sign in this team, continental or PT. Javier Gomez is too young like jaramillo. But Jaramillo is possible also.

I believe they are not 5 riders signed. Only next weeks in Clasico RCN. Perhaps pre contracts or words, but not contracts signed.

In Ecuador Guama or Bone are the big options. In Venezuela riders like Alarcon, Camargo, Galviz as young riders but others like Tomas Gil or Ronald Gonzalez? we will see.

 

[Hector]

One thing...if Henao makes 150000 euros, is difficult that Movistar could pay this. Only if Antioquia and Orgullo Paisa and Movistar are the same team. And Orgullo Paisa has all that Movistar needs...cars, structure, staff; and big riders. Its a real possibility.

today anncouned the team will feature 16 riders, 10 colombians, 2 venezuelans, 2 mexicans, 1 brazilian and 1 ecuador

 

[hfer07]

If the project moves ahead- I foresee the return of Soler to Colombia and never race again in Europe as a Pro rider....

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Why? It's not like he's annoyed Unzué, he's just been injured. When he's been healthy he's done well - see Castilla y León. He was part of Unzué's loyal 8 that he knew he could guarantee sticking with him as he searched for a sponsor.

 

[DAOTEC]

Eusebio Unzué will visit Colombia from Oct 4-10, to finalize the signings for Movistar 2 and see the riders perform in the Clásico RCN which starts tomorrow Sept 30, [Biciciclismo]

I really hope that Sergio Henao changes his mind. He needs that extra year for the experience in the European peloton.

And about the loyalty to the team. You have to do what is best for you and your family. It is like in the big company or in fact any other sport. You can not think about the Company as your prime goal. Once you are not productive or the same talent that you were before, you are disposable. I know some people won't agree with me but that is the fact of life. I think is OK to have "some" loyalty but without jeopardizing your goals in life.
