| HONDA RC211V TELEFONICA MOVISTAR TEAM 2004 At the outset of the season Team Movistar was immediately rated as one of the chief contenders for the 2004 world championship title. Team manager Gresini had re-signed S. Gibernau, one of the best riders of 2003, and C. Edwards, returning to Honda after a period with Aprilia. Team Movistar lived up to expectations excellently, with Gibernau engaging in unforgettable duels with V. Rossi and other world championship racers. With four 4 GP wins under his belt, this Spanish rider took second place in the final standings and, together with his American team-mate, put Telefonica Movistar in second place in the team standings too - ahead of the official Honda Repsol team!
