Valverde-Cobo, new Movistar winning duo
January 5th, 2012 by admin
Movistar becomes normal. Eusebio Unzue runners recover the ‘modus operandi’ of seasons past. No more ‘confusion’ of 2011, where cyclists azulones had no clear leader who help. In 2012, moreover, the options will multiply as there will be two big bosses who harbor: Alejandro Valverde and Juanjo Cobo.
The last signing of the ‘Bison’ after the demise of Geox has made a difference in planning for the new course Movistar. Unzue is clear that the two leaders battle for the podium in Tour and Vuelta. Valverde seeks to conquer the ‘Grande Boucle’ with the help of a Cobo that apparently dosed forces in helping the Murcian cool to reach the Tour. There, the Spaniard will try to repeat his feat of 2011.
Two heads of rows for the last two years large. The only question is who will Unzue broker exercising control work in the Giro d’Italia. David Arroyo, director of the orchestra in the last two editions, it seems that this course will change your calendar and attend to the country of the boot. “We have riders like Visconti or Bruseghin that can fulfill that role, but will have to value it,” says Navarro MARCA.com statements. However, the technician ensures that Movistar will have good cards in the three Grand Tours.
Return the ‘bicefalia’
Both deny Valverde as a possible struggle Cobo of egos. “We each have our goals and it is clear that we help each other”, recognizes the Murcia. “I think I can contribute much to Alexander in the Basque Country and in the mountains of the Tour. I look forward to race with a rider in its class,” said honest the ‘Bison’ to MARCA.com.
The presence of two ‘coconuts’ in the famous square is not something unusual. The pair-Cobo Valverde will inherit that began in the last decade with Miguel Indurain Perico Delegate, or even later with the appearance of “Chava” Jimenez. Valverde also had to share the day with gallons in the 2006 Tour winner Oscar Pereiro. Now it is to know how to manage leadership Cobo Alexander. It did in the very Geox, which at first was the assistant Menchov and Sastre before end up being the big highlight. History repeats itself. UnzĂșe smiles. Movistar becomes to have a winning duo.
