Team Movistar doubled up across its men’s and women’s squads Saturday.
Young Dane Emma Norsgaard delivered at Festival Elsy Jacobs after a season of near-misses, while home talent Héctor Carretero outsprinted Nairo Quintana (Arkea-Samsic) in a reduced kick at Vuelta a Asturias.
Although the likes of Alejandro Valverde and Annemiek van Vleuten typically top the headlines for Movistar, Saturday’s results saw two of the squad’s young promises step up, with both Norsgaard and Carretero notching their first victories for “the blues.”
