The Tour of Spain ended and Alejandro Valverde ran off to Murcia, where he lives, to meet his fifth child, a girl named Alessandra. The little girl was born during the celebration of the Vuelta and the Movistar runner had not had the chance to meet her. Valverde has four children, Alejandro and Iván, born from his first marriage, and Pablo and Natalia, with his second wife. “Now I just want to go home, meet my daughter and rest,” said the world champion in 2018.
«I hope that next year will be better in everything and for everyone. That he has not won any race is just as strange as the year we are living, but I am happy, “he commented as soon as he concluded his fourteenth participation in the Spanish race, in which he only abandoned in his first year, in 2002, and has finished in the top 10 twelve times.
Valverde pointed out that he will already think about the calendar that he could face in 2021, although given the health crisis situation due to the pandemic, the season could start with many unknowns, especially after January testing in Australia has already been suspended.
The 40-year-old from Murcia has one more season of contract with Movistar. I’m great and super happy to be here. I really enjoyed it, although it was a very tough edition of the Vuelta, “he said.
Regarding the performance of his team, he considered: «We have given everything, It has been the most fighting team of the Vuelta, although everyone is free to say whatever they want ».
