Movistar complete 2016 roster with young climber
Movistar have made their fifth and final signing of the 2015 transfer window, snapping up 24-year-old Spaniard Antonio Pedrero on a two-year deal.
Pedrero, a promising climber, came through the ranks of the Lizarte development squad, and as such follows in the footsteps of current Movistar riders Dayer Quintana, Marc Soler, and Jorque Arcas. He joins the WorldTour ranks after a stint this summer at Dominican Continental team Inteja.

Pedrero won a stage and finished third overall at the Tour de la Guadeloupe during that spell and has claimed eight wins in total over the last three years, including the Vuelta a Cantabria in 2013, and the Vuelta a Navarra in 2014.
His signing marks the finalisation of Movistar’s roster for 2016, after the acquisition of Arcas, Carlos Betancur (AG2R La Mondiale), Nelson Oliveira (Lampre-Merida), and Dani Moreno (Katusha). Beñat Intxausti (Sky), Eros Capecchi (Astana), and Pablo Lastras (retires) are all leaving the team.
