Spanish WorldTour Powerhouse | Longest-Running Active Structure in Pro Cycling
Movistar Team is the longest-running active team structure in modern road cycling, tracing its continuous pedigree back to 1980 (under historic banners including Reynolds, Banesto, iBanesto.com, and Caisse d’Épargne). General Manager Eusebio Unzué has steered the squad through decades of Grand Tour glory.
Backed by telecommunications giant Telefónica, Movistar operates elite Men’s WorldTour and Women’s WorldTour squads renowned for mountain dominance, strategic breakaway racing, and Spanish Grand Tour heritage.
Achieved legendary status as Miguel Indurain stormed to five consecutive Tour de France victories (1991–1995) alongside back-to-back Giro d’Italia titles.
Claimed Grand Tour triumphs with Nairo Quintana (Giro 2014, Vuelta 2016), Alejandro Valverde (World Champion & Vuelta 2009), and Richard Carapaz (Giro 2019).
Features a WorldTour women’s outfit (starring Marlen Reusser and Liane Lippert) while Enric Mas and Nairo Quintana lead the men’s Grand Tour GC offensive.
Enric Mas became the new leader of La Vuelta 2026 after Tadej Pogačar's crash and abandonment, but the Spanish rider refused to wear the red jersey on the podium in a gesture of respect.
