Movistar Team (Spain) - Press Release: New equipment.

Blues to enjoy Firecrest and NSW wheel lineups as they tackle their UCI WT / WWT competitions in 2020, their 41st season of uninterrupted activity.

Zipp and the Movistar Team proudly announced Thursday a new partnership, part of SRAM’s new sponsorship to provide the team with componentry and wheels through 2021.

Founded in 1980, with more than 900 victories to date, the men’s team is the longest-running and most successful team in the UCI’s WorldTour. That tradition continues today with team captain Alejandro Valverde (ESP) among the sport’s biggest stars and young Spanish star Enric Mas, singed as a Grand Tour leader. The women’s team, introduced in 2018, has garnered seven national titles and several major wins already and is poised for more success with signees including Barbara Guarischi of Italy.

The Movistar Team will be equipped with Zipp Firecrest and NSW wheels with tubular and tubeless offerings. This is the first season the entire team will use disc brakes. Expect the Zipp 303 and 454 NSW to be the top choices for road races and 858 NSW and Super-9 Disc for time trials.
