Movistar Team (Spain) - Press Release: Vuelta a España (st. 7).

World Champion claims 12th career stage win in La Vuelta with support from excellent Blue squad, including a stellar Nairo Quintana (4th), in Telefónica-backed squad’s second victory in just seven days of racing.

The Movistar Team continues to offer impressive performances in the 2019 Vuelta a España, its strength as a group rewarded again on the 183km stage seven from Onda to the grueling Mas de la Costa climb (Cat-1; 4km at 12.3% avg.). Alejandro Valverde raised his arms victorious in La Vuelta in the rainbow jersey as World Champion, a dream picture made possible by the hard work and commitment from all seven team-mates, including a sensational Nairo Quintana (4th).
