Miguel Ángel López is likely to target the Tour de France and Vuelta a España in 2021, his first season at Movistar. He joined the squad from Astana, where he spent the first six seasons of his professional career.

López made his Tour debut in 2020 and he looked poised to finish on the podium after winning atop the Col de la Loze, but he dropped to 6th place overall after a subdued showing in the time trial to La Planche des Belles Filles.
