It says a lot that the headlines and social media interest stemming from Movistar's team presentation on Thursday were dominated not by their riders and their 2022 goals but by the news that their hit documentary series would return for a third series.

The team themselves ensured this was the case, releasing a trailer for the much-anticipated new instalment of 'El Día Menos Pensado' – or 'The Least Expected Day – at the same time the likes of Alejandro Valverde and Annemiek van Vleuten were sharing their objectives for the 2022 season.
