Movistar Team have taken part, alongside the other 21 squads present, into the spectacular event held on Thursday evening at the Puy du Fou theme park, that served as welcome for the brave riders that will take the start of the 98th Tour de France in just two days' time.

The full squad, with all nine cyclists and sport directors Yvon Ledanois and José Luis Arrieta, jumped into the arena of the ‘Coliseum’ with more than 6,000 people attending who made the riders feel as the authentic protagonists of an act that will start in less than 48 hours at the Passage du Gois.
