Liane Lippert: “It’s great to be a part of this team for the next three years. The atmosphere sent by the whole environment is very pleasant, and from the outside the way of working and getting different runners to get their maximum potential attracts me and I am excited for the future. It motivates to be clear from the first moment that the team is chasing, like you, to continue growing, to take another step physically. I’m already a high-level runner, but I want to take advantage of all the experience of the team, especially of the majority of veteran people, to continue to contribute achievements to the structure and grow together. From the outside, the Movistar Team always gives the image of being like a big family, and that is one of the most important reasons to sign for them and go to the team with enthusiasm next year”.

Sebastian Unzue: “Very happy to announce the addition of Liane. We want to continue building the future of the team and he is a rider called to lead once Annemiek finishes his career as a rider. He is a solid rider on all terrains, capable of being in the lead at key moments in the biggest races. This will be someone who will play a very important role for Annemiek, but I am sure that riding next to someone like Van Vleuten will help her continue to grow and eventually establish herself as one of the best riders in platoon. I would like to thank Liane for her trust in our project, and I am sure that it will be three years of great achievements”.
