Movistar unveiled their new kit for the 2025 season during their annual team presentation in Madrid, marking a fresh chapter for Spain’s only WorldTour team. Alongside the unveiling of the revamped design, Telefónica announced a five-year extension of their sponsorship, continuing the partnership through to 2029. By the end of this agreement, Telefónica and Movistar will have shared 19 seasons together, making it one of the longest-running collaborations in professional cycling.
The team’s new jersey, created by Spanish brand Gobik, steps away from the classic blue palette and opts for a “digital brutalism” design. The bold and modern style features vibrant colours and a unique typographic collage, which Movistar believe will make their riders stand out in the peloton. Gobik explained that the kit incorporates advanced aerodynamic fabrics, lightweight materials, and optimal compression, designed to meet the rigorous demands of WorldTour racing.
Speaking at the event, Telefónica president José María Álvarez-Pallete said, “Telefónica identifies with the values of overcoming, work and sacrifice that sport embodies, which is why it is a source of satisfaction for us to be able to announce the extension until 2029 of our relationship with Movistar Team and with cycling, a discipline that has so many fans around the world.”
General Manager Eusebio Unzué expressed his gratitude, stating, “We are very grateful for the trust Telefónica has placed in us, and we want to return it by meeting the objectives set. We are putting together a very interesting team and will have the opportunity to return it with results.” Unzué added that the security of long-term sponsorship allows the team to plan for the future and attract strong talent.
Strong rosters and new signings
Movistar also revealed their full rosters for 2025. The men’s team will feature 28 riders, including key leaders such as Enric Mas, Nairo Quintana, and Giro stage winner Pelayo Sánchez. New signings include Pablo Castrillo, who impressed with two stage wins at the Vuelta, as well as Colombian prospect Diego Pescador and Eritrean climber Natnael Tesfatsion.
The women’s squad has expanded to 18 riders, including notable additions like Swiss time trial specialist Marlen Reusser, Britain’s Cat Ferguson, and Brazilian climber Tota Magalhares. Liane Lippert and Sheyla Gutiérrez remain as cornerstone riders for the team.
Both squads aim to bounce back after a challenging 2024 season, where each managed only a single WorldTour win. The men’s season will kick off on 18th January in Australia at the Villawood Men’s Classic and Tour Down Under, while the women’s campaign begins a week later at the Challenge de Mallorca.
