Movistar have several riders capable of supporting him in the mountains, but in reality it is a team guided towards stage wins as even in his best form Movistar would likely not be working frequently at the head of the peloton.
Matteo Jorgenson,
Ruben Guerreiro and
Antonio Pedrero will all be contenders to win stages in the mountains, the team also features
Gorka Izagirre and
Gregor Mühlberger who ride strongly over the terrain.
Every single rider in Movistar's lineup can ride over mountains, well fitting in what is perhaps the most mountainous Tour in many years.
Nelson Oliveira will be road captain and the main domestique for Mas in the flat stages, whilst
Alex Aranburu should be present in the fight for wins in the hilly sprints and breakaways on other hilly days.
