The Movistar Team increased its number of 2022 victories to 15 thanks to one of the biggest up-and-coming talents in the women’s peloton. Sarah Gigante took Tuesday’s honours at a warm, demanding Emakumeen Nafarroako Klasikoa, the first of the Navarra classics, with a sensational attack over the final section of the 139km race with eight rated ascents around Irurtzun.

With the serenity and authority one can expect from a rider and team like them, Iván Sosa and Movistar Team sealed on Sunday their overall success in the 2022 Vuelta a Asturias with no chance left for the rivals at the Alto del Violeo (Cat-2), decisive point of the short (120km), intense stage three between Cangas del Narcea and Oviedo.
