At the
Vuelta a Andalucia Astana played a crucial role in shaping the race, however they did not manage to obtain either a win or the general classification at the end despite their best efforts.
“Well, we tried our best and the guys did all they could during the stage and also in the final. Yevgeniy Fedorov made an excellent job today, pulling hardly in the peloton, while Harold Tejada and Alexey Lutsenko supported me at the climb before I launched my attack. Indeed, the climb turned out to be very fast and not as hard as we expected. At the end of the day I took a third place in the General Classification,"
Miguel Ángel López said after the final stage of the race. Astana pushed the pace on the final ascent to Chiclana de Segura but López was unable to attack race leader
Wout Poels and had to settle for a place in the podium, being overtaken by TotalEnergies'
Cristián Rodríguez in the process.
