Dream start for Quintana as Movistar win Vuelta TTT
Movistar Team repeats success from Pamplona in 2012, takes Jonathan Castroviejo to the lead in Jerez after sensational performance
Just like in 2012, at home in the streets of Pamplona, the Movistar Team realised their dream at the start of the Vuelta a España and put one of their great domestiques, Basque specialist Jonathan Castroviejo, as the first leader of the 2014 race.
The Endura sponsored squad rode brilliantly, in perfect order and picked up their pace through the 12.6km TTT in Jerez de la Frontera, a mix of urban, technical, dangerous sections and long straights, where the squad directed by Eusebio Unzué kept always all nine men together.
Until the very final straight, following a good intermediate check -2nd, just 5″ behind Cannondale Pro Cycling, Castroviejo, Valverde, Amador, Erviti, Moreno, Quintana, Izagirre, Malori and Herrada -the latter two dropping just few meters before the end after fantastic efforts – rode to their 3rd victory in team time trials since 2011, by six seconds over the finish line.
Movistar Team’s quest to keep the leader’s jersey will start with stage two on Sunday, the first road race of the Vuelta over 174km from Algeciras to San Fernando where strong winds will be the main threat for a predictable bunch finish.
