The Movistar Team was able<\/strong>, despite forced DNFs -due to injury, for Eider Merino, and as a result of technical decisions, with Barbara Guarischi and Paula Pati\u00f1o heading towards the Giro Rosa- from three of its riders, to notably feature in the race, with three of its allrounders doing well in the second half of the race<\/strong>: Alicia Gonz\u00e1lez<\/strong> -on the breakaway both Monday and Tuesday<\/a>; she obtained two 3rd-place stage finishes<\/strong>-, Alba Teruel <\/strong>-a member of the front group on Monday’s crosswinds<\/a>, with Gonz\u00e1lez and Guarischi- and Lourdes Oyarbide<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2nd spot obtained by Guarischi in Avignon on Saturday <\/strong>and good performances from Merino <\/strong>-before her injured led forced her to stop- and Pati\u00f1o -5th at the brutal Queen stage <\/strong>to Font d’Urle- capped off a good list of results from the Blues, now focusing on their Italian challenge<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
