Movistar will finally have its three leaders in the Tour de France: in addition to former world champion Alejandro Valverde and his signing Enric Mas, its third Spanish card Marc Soler will also be at the exit of Nice (south), Eusebio's team announced Unzué this Wednesday.
Although he was scheduled to contest the Giro d'Italia , Soler, the 2018 Paris-Nice champion, will also participate in the 'Grande Boucle'. "From the moment we confirmed that he was going, his head is already thinking about that goal," said Soler, 26, who will escort Movistar's star signing, Mas, second in the Vuelta a Espaáa-2018.
"Being with Enric, who is a runner who can aspire to do very well, motivates me but above all by helping him , by wanting him to be there in front, to do it well," said veteran Valverde, 40, who finished 12th at the Critérium del Dauphiné recently.
The Spanish squad arrived in Nice on Sunday after reconnoitering the alpine stages from a base camp in Courchevel last week.
