Cycling: Castroviejo claims red jersey as team Movistar win
Spaniard Jonathan Castroviejo pulled on the leader’s red jersey in the Tour of Spain after his Movistar team won the opening 16.5 kilometre team time-trial.
The Spanish outfit of defending Vuelta champion Juan Jose Cobo and outsider Alejandro Valverde clocked a winning time of 18 minutes, 51 seconds, to finish ahead of Dutch team Rabobank and Belgium’s Omega Pharma, who both timed 19 minutes, one second.
“For me it’s obviously a personal satisfaction,” said Castroviejo. “Nothing was planned, everyone gave what they could in this complicated final and it turned out that I crossed the line in front.”
