In this month’s TCP Féminin we consider the rise of Movistar, the women’s team that has slowly established itself as a formidable force and, as of the beginning of March, the best in the world.
In Annemiek van Vleuten and Emma Norsgaard they are capable of winning most, if not all, races. And their talents complement each other’s: Van Vleuten is aggressive and can go from a long way, while Norsgaard is a fast finisher – though far more than a pure sprinter.
We hear from both Van Vleuten and Norsgaard in this episode, as well as from Sebastián Unzué, who runs the women’s team and is the son of Eusebio, who has run the men’s team for more than four decades.
There are also interviews with Demi Vollering, Grace Brown and two newly appointed sports directors, Tim Harris at EF-Tibco-SVB and Jolien D’hoore, who retired at the end of last season and is now in the car for NXTG.
