Tactical nous bags Valverde new season win at Trofeo Deià

Achieving the first victory in 2013 seemed like a long time coming for Movistar but Alejandro Valverde put an end to the team's recurring podium placings by taking out the Trofeo Deià from a select four-man group yesterday. Again, it was the Spanish squad who had the numbers toward the finish at the Challenge Mallorca but it was Valverde’s decision to open his sprint to the left, with the finish line located on a left turn that ultimately gave him the win over Sergio Henao (Sky).
