INEOS fishing in the Movistar team

The team Netcompany INEOS announced on Monday afternoon the arrival of Javier Romorider who leaves the Movistar team. Romo has signed a contract two seasons with INEOS, with which it is therefore committed until 2028.

In it he finished second in the Tour Down Under, in which he won a stage (his only victory as a professional), was fourth in the Cadel Evans Race, seventh in the Faun-Ardèche, tenth in the Tour de Romandie and scored two top-3 in stages in the Vuelta.

He has shown it in the WorldTour and has gained experience to make a difference in different races,” he said. “It will give us quality and give us more options on the calendar”has closed the Tour champion in 2018.
