Cycling: Gorka Izagirre returns to Movistar

Gorka Izagirre returns to Movistar Team. The team confirmed this Thursday what was an open secret. The Ormaiztegi, so far in Astana, has reached an agreement for the next two seasons (2022-23). With this signature, the Izagirre brothers separate their paths since Ion will race this year in the Cofidis.

After announcing his signing, Gorka said he was “very happy to return to the Movistar Team. And I say ‘come back’ because the four years I had here were the best of my career, both sportingly and emotionally. It should be remembered that the one from Ormaiztegi was already part of the telephone squad after having been a member of Eusebio Unzué’s team between 2014 and 2017. «These years I have been like when a child leaves home and travels to another place: I have known the world, and now I’m coming home I hope to contribute everything I know and they have taught me to give it my all again for this team ”, assured the Gipuzkoan runner.

Gorka will coincide in Movistar with the Ezkiotarra Alex Aranburu. His signing is the fifth for the men’s team for next year, after those of Óscar Rodríguez, Max Kanter, Alex Aranburu and Oier Lazkano.
