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).
Jürgen will bring his vision and experience on the bike to a staff that will see another former member returning: Ledanois, who was part of the Abarca Sports organisation between 2005 and 2012. Together with them, as a sports director and key reinforcement to the performance group -graduate in Sports Science; an expert biomechanic-, will be Muriel, known for his technical knowledge and his previous experience with Caja Rural and Murias Taldea.
