Spanish rider Sara Martin has decided to extend her contract with team Movistar. She has extended her contract for three years.
She has already shown her ability via outstanding collective and individual performances. She competed in her maiden Giro Donne last year, riding hard in support of Emma Norsgaard on most stages, and earned a silver medal in the ITT.
“Remaining a Movistar Team member allows me to continue with the efforts the team itself has made for me over the last two years. The fact that they’ve given me three more seasons to progress is great proof of the confidence they have in me and the fact that they always think about this project in the long term,” said Martin.
When asked about her long-term goal with the team, she said, “Of course, everyone wants to keep evolving and take advantage of every step in that process – and I insist: giving me three years is the best proof of confidence the team could have. But looking way ahead, I would like to remain a strong all rounder while becoming more and more competitive, getting closer to the front, and using my strength to have opportunities in all kinds of scenarios. Hopefully, that progression will lead me in the next few years to take the start of the Grand Tours and fight for stages/races in the WWT in any terrain.”
