“I hope to learn a lot”
Fisherman spoke about his transfer: “The Movistar team has always helped Latin Americans a lot, it has opened the doors to cycling on this side of the world. Starting this new path with them… the truth is that there are days when I wake up and I still don’t believe it. It’s a WorldTour team, the team of my reference, Nairo Quintana, whom I always admired a lot and watched on television when I was little. Being part of the team where he accomplished his great deeds is something you can’t imagine. This makes me very, very excited. I hope to learn a lot.”
