Lluís Mas joins the Movistar Team to protect the team’s main leaders at the toughest days of wind, bad weather and high speeds, also adding strength to the TTT lineups that often play a crucial factor in Grand Tour success. Mas has always felt he had a place in the cobblestone races, and stepping onto the WorldTour with the Movistar Team jersey will finally grant him that chance: riding the spring classics. He describes this signing as “a dream”, which he started to live as he arrived in Gorraiz to join the rest of the team.
