Maybe this thread is not the most suitable for this, but I cant find the sky thread. As well it could be Movistar team or Froome thread. But the important thing IMO is what Unzue say about SKY.

Here there is a bad translation that I have improved just a little:
Eusebio Unzué : " We try to Froome ran on Movistar Team "
¿ Do you imagine Chris Froome , Alejandro Valverde and Nairo Quintana in the same team ? Right now is presumed impossible , but it wanst far of it happened on Movistar Team in 2012 . Eusebio Unzué confirmed that he negotiated with the British rider his signing during the Vuelta a España in 2011 but his second place made that impossible becouse Sky reacts .
Indeed , the Spanish WorldTour team beat Team SKY and the navarre manager dont deny that " the taste of winning Sky is really big" .
In one interview in the Daily of Navarra , Unzué and José Luis Arrieta , both confirm that negotiated with Froome . " We try to Froome ran on Movistar .
The problem is that he grew up during the talks. Flirted at the start of the Tour in 2011, but the promise was realized. He podium , and the empire Sky would not pass up a runner as well . And the facts are proven right , "confirms manager Movistar Team . Froome was uncovered and was second in that Vuelta Cobo won . " He tried, wanted to come . The pity is that Froome exploded during negotiations , "says Arrieta . Unzué not believe that the British would be better cyclist in Movistar Team than Sky because " their level in sports is what it is " . " If he were here perhaps would have won a Tour of Spain and Tour de France more under his belt . He will be the rival of all of the next three or four years, "he says.
The number one team in the WorldTour is a great satisfaction , a victory that culminated in the Tour of Beijing , Sky relegating to second place . "It's a reward from the work of a year, a year , not a moment in time - out Unzué . "In moments Sky has been brighter , but we have been regular from Australia to China."
And praises Dave Brailsford formation , and therefore your pleasure is greater : "Cycling has many things to thank Sky , has given an added image . Athletically its explosion coincides with the globalization of cycling. For all these things , beat the taste of Sky is great. Being the best in the world has a multiplier effect . I want the team reference and the reference classification of world cycling . "
" Is that Sky is a reference computer image , media, preparation ... - Arrieta in the newspaper asserts Navarro- We are your alter ego. Maybe we have not the means but we can fight them every year to be on. I know for a fact that we are a reference to Sky , we are envious because we fight in every race. So highly value our riders who just there. From our humility we must fill with pride that we are a reference to the same sky, and that the road be able to compete with them. " Zandio , Uran , Kiryienka and David Lopez are brokers of the structure passed to the British Navarre , and Dowsett did the opposite .
In the Navarre , accept numerical and technological superiority of the Sky , but Arrieta believes that there are other weapons to win and be the best . " He knows better Eusebio why we have won the Sky , which is the team that resources and personnel are in professional cycling . That makes more meritorious the great work of the entire group of people is multiplied up to three to be competitive. It's a little battle of David against Goliath , and we have won . We cyclists quality , they have more resources but with the work of all you can get up . " " The good fortune that we have is that there is an implication beastly all around . That fashion collides with modern times in where everything is super-specialized . supporter I am hotchpotch , we all share , we all enrich , and everyone feels it brings more that all its small contribution is essential. means we have less , but greater willingness to work at all " said Unzué in Diario de Navarra .
And Arrieta estimated Movistar Team experience is an advantage : "I think in the end this is the result of a philosophy that has 35 years of history, which is something that Sky does not have . Some have been here for 35 years , another 20 , another 10 ... Each has its strengths and weaknesses , but runners who come here in two years is as though they carried a life here , with a bestial involvement . Here all the corridors we put our time no matter the cost. Elsewhere each has its plot , and not out of there . That is something the rider notices " .
