Movistar Team (Spain) - Press Release: Alejandro shows his best legs in years to bring Movistar Team their second win this week and Bala’s third in Navarra, with a sensational series of attacks near the end of Blues’ home race.

The day he stops, he will do so with a level as extraordinary as the legacy he’ll leave. There’s very few doubts about that after Alejandro Valverde (Movistar Team) showed again at Saturday’s 2021 GP Miguel Indurain, the big Navarra race back after the pandemic hiatus, the legs of his best days. The ‘campeonísimo’ from Murcia reached the finish line at Estella’s Paseo Inmaculada solo, following a display of class in the last ten kilometers of the race by the name of the rider who, together with Alejandro, has left a bigger impression in the Eusebio Unzué-led squads.

Reaction / Alejandro Valverde:

“I want to thank everyone who supports me and all the people who cared about me and enjoys cycling. I’m super happy with this victory today. I want to thank the team, too, for their great job. We knew it was going to be a difficult day, with Astana being the strongest block today and doing a great job to keep the race under control from the beginning.
