Alejandro Valverde continued to win after announcing his retirement. The Murcian cyclist, who ended his career at the end of last year, has again put the number to participate in Movistar in ‘The restless’, a test of gravel of 100 kilometers around Almería.
In an adventure mode with slightly different bikes than asphalt ones, Valverde showed that he is like a fish in water despite the newness of the discipline. It was shown from the beginning, with a bold commitment to success that led him here.
The Murcian launched an attack in the first kilometers in a race where he had to get used to different paths and dirt roads. However, he was able to maintain the pace to keep his rivals at bay and win Berja’s goal in Almería.
This modality allows Valverde to maintain the ‘bug’ for the competition. It is a discipline where the team is betting Movistarso ‘Bala’ is likely to get back on the bike to play more tests throughout the year.
