canyon and movistarCanyon to sponsor Movistar team next year
Spanish professional cycling team Movistar will switch from Pinarello to Canyon bikes in 2014, in a move that sees the German manufacturer increasing its presence in the pro peloton to two teams, continuing to support Katusha.
Pictures have been released this week of the newly livered Canyon bikes with Movistar logos. The team will continue to use Campagnolo groupsets and matching wheels. The Spanish team have retained Alejandro Valverde and Nairo Quintana for next season.
The company will continue to sponsor Katusha, in a deal that has been running since 2012, making them one of only a few brands to sponsor more than one team, the others being Specialized and Scott. Canyon have been in the pro peloton since 2007, when they first entered the pro peloton with Unibet.com, before partnering with Omega Pharma-Lotto in 2009.
We’ll start to see a lot of the new 2014 team bikes and kit over the following weeks as most teams are currently at their first training camps where they’ll dishing out new equipment for the riders to start training on in preparation for next season. So watch this space, we'll keep you updated.
David worked on the road.cc tech team from 2012-2020. Previously he was editor of Bikemagic.com and before that staff writer at RCUK. He's a seasoned cyclist of all disciplines, from road to mountain biking, touring to cyclo-cross, he only wishes he had time to ride them all. He's mildly competitive, though he'll never admit it, and is a frequent road racer but is too lazy to do really well. He currently resides in the Cotswolds, and you can now find him over on his own YouTube channel David Arthur - Just Ride Bikes.

Just to add, is this why people think cyclists are odd, the fact that a brush can ellicit such strong views? đ€Ł

Glad to see them sticking with Campag.
I like it! However, I also ride a Canyon so obvious bias.
They need to colour the seatpost in Movistar blue though!
Teenage mutant ninja cyclists!!!
Looks good! Maybe because Campag have hidden that bulbous battery from the frame...!?
I almost bought a Canyon AL Di2 bike a year or so ago (wishing I had now, as it was a crazy bargain).
Apart from the 'Superbikes' (Factor Vis Vires you will be mine one day), it's the brand I most want to own right now.
I just hope all this 'sponsorship' malarky doesn't cause the price of their bikes to elevate too much. Or that I win the lottery sometime soon and an 'Ultimate CF SLX' becomes my everyday bike.
P.S. I'm really not sure what I'd do if someone wanted to give me a Team Movistar Canyon as that colour scheme is not quite my taste
Hmm, shame I've just ordered a new frame. Me like alot!
It's sure to be half the price of a pinarello or less.
At least there's no TLD on this one.
What's TLD?
I hear Pinarello are doing specific Team Sky Tour of Britain bikes with asymmetric frames and forks to account for us riding on the left side of the road. Marginal gains and all that.
canyon need a logo change to make it look anywhere near decent!
Sky moving to Specialized? Who's left for Pin ?
Sky just renewed with Pinarello for another 3 years
Much prefer this to the Pinarello [puts on tin hat]
Hmmmm.... Germans ban coverage of the TDF because of doping but a german manufacturer now backs a Spanish as well as a russian race team, all Canyon now need is to throw bikes at Astana and they've got the full suite!
Froomey, you've been warned. Quintana and Valverde on a Canyon bike, forget about marginal gains, this is about major and real gains*
*disclosure - I ride a Canyon
Nice but I preferred the Pina.
Wow, that's just well... not pretty.
Wheeeeew
