Spain's Movistar announced three new players on Wednesday, with Ruben Guerreiro and Ivan Romeo the first to be unveiled. [Fernando Gaviria has been rumored to be on the move to the Spanish team in recent weeks.

Guerreiro has terminated his contract with EF Education Easy Post and will join Movistar. The Portuguese climber had one more year left on his contract, but both parties agreed to terminate it.

The 28-year-old began his career with Trek-Segafredo, then Katusha before joining EF in 2020, finishing 18th in his 2021 Tour de France debut, and this year, after finishing 9th in the Criterium du Dauphiné, he took the Mont Ventoux Challenge He took a stunning solo victory.

Guerreiro has joined the team on a three-year contract through 2025.

"Movistar is a team that I have admired since I was a little kid, and I am very happy and motivated to have the opportunity to join them," said Guerreiro.

"I believe I have not yet reached my full potential and the next few years will be the best of my career. I want to fight not only in Grand Tours and week-long races, but also in hard one-day races like the Ardennes, to get the most out of myself as a climber."

"The big challenge for the future? I'd love to aim for GC results at the Giro d'Italia and Vuelta a España, which I love. I will give everything for this team."

Romeo joins the team as a 19-year-old neo-pro after working in the same Axeon Hagens Berman training setup as Guerreiro.

A former Spanish junior race and time trial champion, Romeo stands 1.93 meters tall, is a strong ruler, and is expected to develop as an all-rounder. He has also signed a three-year contract.

"It's a dream come true for me since I was a kid," he said.

"I grew up watching this team and I can't believe I'm going to be a part of it. I won't believe it until I see myself in the team colors."
