Movistar Team's Grand Tour track record updated after van Vleuten's victory in La Vuelta Femenina
CyclingMonday, 08 May 2023 at 10:58
The current Movistar Team is a team founded by José Miguel Echavarri and Eusebio Unzué in 1980 and has had had different sponsors and names since its inception (Reynolds, Banesto, Illes Balears, Caisse d'Epargne, Movistar...). It has just conquered another Grand Tour this Sunday.
Their longevity and good performance in the Grand in these more than four decades in the international peloton make them one of the most successful structures in history and the addition of a women's team and Annemiek van Vleuten have made them even bigger.

Yesterday, the Dutchwoman added La Vuelta Femenina to her list of victories and one more major for Movistar Team, which has so far accumulated no less than 8 Tours de France, 5 Tours d'Italia and 5 Vueltas a España (if you are to accumulate both men's and women's races).
Perico Delgado, Miguel Induráin, Óscar Pereiro, Nairo Quintana, Richard Carapaz, Alejandro Valverde, Abraham Olano and the aforementioned Annemiek van Vleuten are the men and women who have added grand tours to the track record of the UCI WorldTour's longest-running team.

- It will be just a waste of time to finish out of the podium. Giro Vuelta makes a better choiceabstractengineer19-11-2024
- I would agree, top 3 with Remco improving and snapping at his heels. I just wish he wouldn't keep crashing in the TDF.Pedalmasher19-11-2024
- Backstedt and Schreiber are not juniors they are under 23. There were I think about 7 or 8 juniors in this race. Under the current rules a race that has juniors in can't go over 45 minutes. The winning time was 43.53 so the timing was correct. The organisers are in the wrong because they should be putting on a juniors race and then we wouldn't be in this situation as the timings for the elite race would be 50 minutes, not 45.NorrisHippocampe19-11-2024
- It's everywhere. Just like it was before. But we can just pretend it isn't. Just like we did before.Sweep19-11-2024
- Not a top 4 GT rider? He's got more GT wins (just not at the Tour) than any viable active rider (Froome not included). Were it not for his team messing it up for him, he'd have won the Vuelta even more often. He's a bizarrely accident prone, deeply conservative rider, but it delivers. He's also one of the best 1-week GC riders in the peloton. The man may not be Pogacar or Vingegaard (who is?), but he is definitely in the top 3 of the field, right now.RidesHills19-11-2024
- Nobody is saying that he is tin he Top 4 GT riders but nobdy is also saying he is capable of winning the TDF in the presence of Pog and Jonas. He was already fairly blown away before his crash and if we assume that Bora hired him to win the TDF, then it would not be considered a success. That he won the Vuelta only make it not a total fail.abstractengineer19-11-2024
- "The viewing and visitor figures are both better than when they were riding" - what a BS. Please compare (and only then) visitor figures during current season vs when WvA and MvdP are back in December (hopefully!) otherwise you are comparing oranges to apples.averagecyclist19-11-2024
- I counted 16 riders under 24 out of 43 that started. Once was only 16 ! Two of the top riders are Zoe and Schreiber and both under 23 yet that have done 50 min races in the past with the elites so I think it's just bad clock management. Let them race 50 freakin' minutes! One more lap could have made a big dffierence most times in the podium and winner.frieders319-11-2024
- He needs to finish out his contract and then go hit MTB and Cross/Gravel really hard, that's where his heart is.awp18-11-2024
