Movistar Team (Spain) - Press Release: Set to join team staff in 2023.

Telefónica-backed squad reinforces performance group with two experienced DSs as Belgian debuts in WorldTour behind steering wheel; both Jürgen and Yvon back with Blues after illustrious careers.

Following its previous announcement, earlier this month, of the 45-rider roster that will sport its kit in 2023, the Movistar Team announces Wednesday it will get three new sports directors into its performance staff starting next year: Xabier Muriel (Zaldibia, ESP; 1981), Yvon Ledanois (Montreuil-sous-Bois, FRA; 1969) and Jürgen Roelandts (Asse, BEL; 1985).

Roelandts’ arrival as sports director is particularly significant for the Blues, who will enjoy again in its ranks the human quality and prestige of the renowned Belgian rider -podium finisher in Sanremo and De Ronde; 17-year career-, after spending the last two seasons of his career with the ‘M’.
