The good atmosphere, union, and involvement of all the pieces of Movistar Team during the course of the 2nd Tour of Andalusia Elite Women made possible in the decisive day of this Sunday (90 intense kilometers between Estepona and Castellar de la Frontera) an unthinkable turnaround just three hours before.
Katrine Aalerud won the last yellow jersey against the, until today, all-powerful Tamara Dronova (CGS)whose collapse on the ramps of the Hacho de Gaucín (1st category), together with the spectacular level of the blue (with Sara Martín, winner yesterday in Mijas, 4th today and 6th overall, as stoppers in the Russian group)made the Norwegian appear at the finish line with more than 1 ‘advantage.
“Very happy for this first victory in a stage tour. I wanted to try to fight today and see if we got close to Dronova, but at the same time he had the impression that an attack in the port of Primera would be too far from the goal. But hey, it was better to try than leave with doubt at the end. We did it, and I’m very, very happy with it.” will celebrate Aalerud after the victory.
Thus is consumed fourth success for the Movistar Team in 2023 and 16th for the Abarca Sports structure this yearalso revalidating the title won in 2022 by Arlenis Sierra and leaving a spectacular image a few weeks away from the great objectives of the summer. A group in which all the pieces – Alicia González herself today sealed her success in the Flying Goals – worked.
