The director of Movistar, Eusebio Unzueannounced this Friday in Talavera de la Reina, where the nineteenth stage of the Vuelta 2022 ended, that his team in 2023 will be the same as in 2022, although under the leadership of Enric Mas “combined” and “four or five new faces. “.
“There is no choice to opt for other first swords, but we have the peace of mind to see Enric integrated. The team will be built around Enric. We will have small reinforcements, but 75 percent of the team has contract and we will include four or five new faces”, said the head of Movistar in an interview with Spanish Television.
Unzué welcomed the evolution of Mas with respect to what was seen at the Tour de France. “Learning to be a leader is difficult because everyone has their own character,” he said, complaining about the “bad luck” he chased in the Balearic Islands this year “in the Tour and at the start of the season.”
The director of Navarrese promoted the possibility of improvement in the budget for 2023 in which he is “confident that the needs are covered” and complained of the “many events” that occurred so that his team, some years the best of the season, is now in danger of losing its status as a World Tour team.
“We lost strong men because of betting on the younger ones and we were affected by the pandemic and the UCI points system,” he commented, still unscathed. “Many races and seven or eight teams are at risk of dropping,” he said, asking the UCI to “rethink the points system and allow the current 20 teams to continue in the World Tour.”
