Movistar Team Cycling Club Unveiled

We got all excited about another new cycling club to add to our endless list, with the hopes of finally achieving more club affiliations than road miles in 2023. Unfortunately, Movistar expects you to pay €49.95 to join. We can’t possibly keep up with these club dues.

Those club dues might not look so bad to people without terminal cycling industry brain damage though. It’s not only a cycling club with a kit that might make people think you’re a neo-pro: it’s also a loyalty program with exclusive discounts. Ever wanted to save 40% on 100% brand glasses while looking like a full kit wanker? Now you can. And the membership kind of pays for itself at that point anyway.

Movistar told us something along these lines: “The Movistar Team Cycling Club is not just your average fan club; it’s a global cycling community that offers its members some seriously cool perks. We’re talking about exclusive advantages and experiences that will make your cycling dreams come true.” But it was in Spanish and mentioned Telefonica a million times.

Members will have the opportunity to snag pro equipment at the best prices, witness the Blues’ races from an insider’s perspective, and enjoy the support of sponsors like Gobik, Canyon, 226ERS, Fizik, Garmin, 100%, Zwift, ABUS, Volvo, RAW Superdrink, Isdin, and Gabol.

But that’s not all. Brace yourselves for some virtual excitement because the Movistar Team Cycling Club has partnered with Zwift to bring you exclusive events. Picture this: you, in the virtual world, training alongside the big stars of the Movistar Team, challenging them, and maybe even beating them (hey, dreams do come true!). Imagine improving your sporting and training performance while rubbing elbows with elite riders. With the Movistar Team Cycling Club, it’s not just a dream—it’s a reality. 

As a member, you’ll have access to once-in-a-lifetime experiences. How about joining the Movistar Team at a pre-season training camp? Or hopping inside one of their team cars to follow the best races on the calendar firsthand? Yep, those experiences can be yours. We used to get paid to do those things, now we write about how exciting it might be if you had the opportunity to do it yourself. To be honest, by the end we were just going along to see what the music was like in the car and eat whatever was left of the buffet after 20 skinny men had eaten 10,000 calories worth of bread.

Still interested in being part of this exclusive members’ club, even though we’ve hugely undersold it? It’s easy! Just head over to www.movistarteam.com/en/cycling-club, sign up, and get ready to enjoy the advantages for one whole year. And here’s a bonus for the early birds: if you become a member before July 12th, you’ll have a chance to enter a draw and win an entry for the IRONMAN event in Calella (Barcelona), happening on October 1st, 2023.
