Pep Toni, a charming person and a professional well respected by everybody in cycling, returned in 2020 to the Movistar Team after a long spell in Belgium’s Lotto Soudal, following a previous eight years (2004-2011) into the squads led by José Miguel Echávarri and Eusebio Unzué. His loss leaves a gaping hole to everybody in the Abarca Sports organisation, both personally and professionally.
