Haut Var, Andalucía make next stages
16 February 2011

With their moral over the moon after the big season start -three victories in less than a month of competition-, Movistar Team return into competitive manners this weekend with a double appointment in Spain and France.

The Spanish team will wear again their jersey at the Tour du Haut Var (Saturday 19th and Sunday 20th) and the Vuelta a Andalucía (starting on Sunday 20th and finishing on Thursday 24th). On French soil, with two difficult stages that boost the options from the expedition led by Yvon Ledanois, David López -6th at the recent Tour Méditerranéen-, David Arroyo, Andrey Amador, Carlos Oyarzun, Ángel Madrazo, Javier Iriarte, Enrique Sanz and Trofeo Deià winner José Joaquín Rojas will be the starters. In turn, the Andalusian stagerace will see seven riders directed by José Luis Jaimerena in what seems to be a decisive 7km time trial in Benahavís: Fran Ventoso, Beñat Intxausti, Pablo Lastras, Chente García Acosta, Sergio Pardilla, Luis Pasamontes and Jesús Herrada.

Two new chances to keep showing the great overall level by a squad whose first weeks of competition are granting them massive support from thousands of fans following them from diverse social networks.
