Diario AS recognises Movistar Team’s trajectory

2020 AS Annual Gala

Eusebio Unzué, Pablo Lastras receive 'Team Spirit' Award at Madrid's Teatro Real for their four-decade history, already ten years alongside Telefónica.

After such a difficult season, due to multiple circumstances, it was certainly heartwarming for the whole Movistar Team to see its work recognised in Madrid on Thursday as they received the ‘Team Spirit’ Award at the 2020 Diario AS Annual Gala, a ceremony held at the majestic Teatro Real.

“I’d like to share this prize with the rest of the cycling work, especially race organisers, since thanks to their work and discipline following the protocols, we’ve been able to carry on with our season until the very end, despite all difficulties,” said Unzué.
