Almost sounds like an April fools joke.

Inocente!

 

[tobydawq]

It is the equivalent to the first of April in Latin America today.

 

[Libertine Seguros]

Yea, in previous years on Día de los Inocentes we've seen Ángel Vicioso retire to dedicate his life to the priesthood, and Movistar signing MotoGP riders who had been riding with the squad on training rides.

Michael Phelps se estrenará en IRONMAN en 2021

El deportista olímpico más laureado de todos los tiempos había reconocido en varias ocasiones que quería probar en el triatlón; debutará en el IRONMAN de Tul...

Didn't Dao think that as the truth and made a post? ...about Vicioso

Apparently Movistar, under the supervision of Patxi Vila, completely overhauled and changed their coaching staff for the new season.

From the outside that looks like a good step.

It sure fooled the effervescent Daotec

Angel Vicioso (33) Androni Giocattoli-Serramenti PVC Diquigiovanni bye, bye he want's to become a priest El “Padre” ÁNGEL VICIOSO, "si, habéis leído bien, lo que le ha llevado a rescindir su contrato con el Androni Giocattoli de Savio". We wish him well and gods blessing in his long journey to salvation. ***Venga va…. lo confesamos jeje Indudablemente es una inocentada, eso si, con el beneplácito de Ángel Vicioso.¡¡Gracias Ángel!![elpedalde]

Another Spanish podcast had Bernal having a Sabatical year because of his back problems. Almost fooled me just because it was Spanish. I am assuming that this "Dia de los Inocentes" is big in Spain!!!

Van Vleuten also joined the men's team for TTT training as well as riding with the women's team.

After training she posted a couple of pictures to twitter:

Looks like the team is having fun at their training camp.

 

[RedheadDane]

They even had time for some language lessons.

I'll put this here. Some sad news from Movistar.

English translation.
It is a terrible day for the entire Movistar Team. Our friend left us this Saturday @garybanos, an assistant to the team for almost a decade and a fundamental person in our female team. Goian bego / Rest in peace.

The first showings of the team don't look hopeful.. Mas absolute no where in the Provence, in the UAE the average Movistar rider loses already 2 min on a Ganna in only (15!) km on a not technical parcours.

 

[Moviestar]

In Radiocorsa Beppe Conti mentioned that Valerio Conti and Diego Ulissi would ride for Movistar in 2022. But then again, he also mentioned the possible return of Dumoulin to DSM

Opvallend: Italiaanse journalist linkt Dumoulin aan terugkeer bij DSM | Indeleiderstrui.nl

 

[tobydawq]

What is it with that guy? Does he just make random guesses and somehow has a newspaper that want to publish them?

No wonder he doesn't get it right every time, when he's only on Conti level.

 

[Movitrain]

Oh man, not to read too much into races in February but this looks like another long and painful year for Movistar... absolutely no effort into the first World Tour race again (or so it seems), and i can't blame soon-to-be 41 year old Bala but ugh... no TV time on the first three days from what i've seen for anyone.

 

[Moviestar]

Jorgenson seems to be in fine shape, lost only 20 seconds on Roglic today. He also placed himself very well in the first two stages.

 

[Publiuszam]

Have they been to the podium in any world tour races this year?

They haven't been on the podium at all this year.
Unless you count the ladies, and I assume you weren't.
