Bryan Coquard wins the wind-shortened final stage

The race: High winds forced the officials to shorten the final stage.

Here's what final overall winner Nairo Quintana's Movistar team had to say about the day's racing.

Even though today's stage looked like it would be more difficult than than the real outcome, due to strong winds that ultimately forced to shorten it by almost 80km, Nairo Quintana and Movistar Team had no troubles to claim overall success in the 2017 Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana. The 51 kilometers between Paterna and Valencia, including five laps of a city circuit around the capital's City Hall, were completed with absolute composure by the squad directed by José Luis Jaimerena, which covered its leader perfectly to secure the Eusebio Unzué-managed team's second victory of the season.

Nairo's success, his 13th in a stage race since he joined the Movistar Team in 2012, comes together with the teams' classification for the Blues, who limited their losses at the TTT and later managed themselves well through rain, wind and the mountains that led Nairo to yellow atop Mas de la Costa on Saturday. A good point of reference for a 2017 season that starts for Quintana just like 2016 ended: with a victory.

Nairo Quintana: “I'm very happy about this victory. We knew it wouldn't be easy today, and indeed it turned out to be very nervous due to the strong winds we had to face. Fortunately, both the team and I kept attention at all times and in the end it was no problem for us to conserve this jersey. I don't consider it was an easier victory than previous ones. After so many months without racing, the TTT was really hard for us. Considering the gaps created by the team trial, we were thinking it'd be sort of an impossible feat to reach the leader's jersey. The other days weren't easy, either, as we suffered with strong winds, lots of stress... Saturday might have been a bit less difficult, because the team's work helped me to get to the foot of the ascent much fresh, and I could finish it off well. It's all about my team-mates' work: they covered me perfectly all week.

"My fitness level at this point of the season is similar to what I found last year. We've got two big goals ahead, the Giro and the Tour, and we know that finding the correct approach will be key to our success. For the time being, we're on the right path to get there at 100%, but should any other opportunities come along the way, we'll chase them. I'm one of those who likes winning in January or February, and I also try to be in good condition up until the end of the season. Now it's time to have some rest and prepare for the Abu Dhabi Tour and Tirreno-Adriatico, my next two races."

Saturday, February 4: Stage 4, Segorbe - Mas de la Costa, 180 km

Nairo Quintana

Nairo Quintana wins the stage and takes over the GC lead

The race: Here's the report from winner Nairo Quintana's Movistar team.

Nairo Quintana came into the decisive day of the Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana with a 54” deficit against the GC leader, a gap seemingly unsurmountable in only four kilometers of definitive climbing, yet Saturday brought a pure exhibition by Quintana in the Mas de la Costa ascent, one of the most amazing display in his already-prolific career, to take over the leader’s jersey, claim the Movistar Team’s first success of the 2017 season and celebrate his 27th birthday in style.

Helped out by his seven team-mates, who sustained the pace of a Sky-driven peloton all over the 4,000-meter elevation gain the stage contained before the last Cat-1 ascent, Nairo attacked right from the bottom of the ascent, initially followed by Amaro Antunes (W52) and Merhawi Kudus (DDD). The Portuguese rider was soon dropped back, with the Eritrean still keeping Quintana’s wheel for just over one kilometer before losing sight of the Colombian’s wheel. A very steady pace, the signature move of the now-27-year-old superstar, ended up bringing him the 32nd victory of his career, 40" ahead of Kudus and 1'07" over Ben Hermans (BMC), tied with team-mate and yellow jersey holder Greg Van Avermaet and now second overall at 13 seconds with one day to go.

The squad directed by José Luis Jaimerena has a very short and fast stage ahead on Sunday: 130km starting at Paterna and finishing with a urban circuit around Valencia’s City Hall, with an only climb in the Alto del Oronet (Cat-3). In the Turia capital, Nairo hopes to start his 2017 season just like he ended his 2016 efforts in the Vuelta a España: on top of the podium of a stagerace.

REACTION:

Nairo Quintana: “Today’s plan went nearly perfect. We’re still watching how my body reacts to these early-season efforts and today, happily, it responded well.

“As in every stage of this race, the team covered me perfectly and I could save all of my energy before the climb. I jumped from the very foot, saw myself doing well, and carried on. I really found great legs over the steepest parts of the climb, so today’s effort seems like a good sign. We will keep on refining our training plan to keep this form growing up.

“It’s a very special victory in my birthday. A success that makes me calm and confident, as it proves we did some good work over the winter. We have very clear goals in mind and we’re approaching them correctly. I don’t feel like this is a warning for my rivals, though. We’re still so early in this season, and things just went well into one race. We took advantage from the moment, but it doesn’t mean anything regarding the big goals. Even so, this victory makes us tremendously happy - it’s quite an important success for our team, the first one - and a good one.

“I want to dedicate this win to my family, my wife, my little daughter, my dad and my brothers, always helping me out wherever I needed to; and especially to my friend Adriano Malori. We think about him a lot and we’re raring to have him with us into races. Also, to all the team, staff and sports directors included, as they make our work go so smoothly.”

Friday, February 3: Stage 3, Canals - Riba Roja de Turia, 161 km

Magnus Nielsen

Magnus Cort Nielsen wins stage 3

The race: Here's the report from stage winner Magnus Cort Nielsen's Orcia-Scott team.

Two-time 2016 Vuelta a Espana stage winner Magnus Cort again showed his sprinting pedigree on Spanish soil today, taking the stage three victory for Orica-Scott at the Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana.

Danish compatriot and teammate Chris Juul-Jensen was fantastic in leading Orica-Scott into the finale before Luka Mezgec carried Cort into position with the 24-year-old skillfully jumping wheels to get a kick on the competition and take the win by a whisker ahead of Nacer Bouhanni (Cofidis).

“The team rode perfectly today and it is really nice to start the season with a win,” said Cort. “It was pretty technical in the last kilometre and it was very important to be in a good position for the last left-hander and it took good work from everyone to get me into position. I am really happy I could finish it off for the team and a big thankyou to the guys for helping me achieve the win.”

The whole Orica-Scott team rode a controlled race never far from the front throughout the stage as acknowledged by sport director Neil Stephens.

“The boys did a fantastic job today,” said Stephens. “We really did well holding our positions, stayed calm and in control when the late attacks were flying and of course Magnus finished it off brilliantly. Magnus is always very strong on his own going into the finale, but Luka Mezgec did a super job of getting him clear of the road furniture and into some space that enabled him to carry his momentum with him.

“We all worked hard and we are fortunate with this team to have different options for different situations, we said at the beginning that we wanted to come here and polish our racing form and there’s no better way to do that than with a win. Chris Juul Jensen is really at home pulling in the final third and he did that job beautifully today, it really is his terrain.

“Tomorrow will be a very demanding stage and finish,” concluded Stephens. “Simon Yates took a tumble yesterday, but came through the stage without injury and there are no expectations for us tomorrow. We will be looking to continue our preparation and get through without any issues.”

How it happened:

Fairer conditions welcomed the riders to the start of stage three in Canals and with only 160kilometres ahead the attacks began to spring directly out of the neutral zone.

Finally a six-rider move went clear and after 45kilometres of racing the group had over four minutes on the bunch led by Orica-Scott and Movistar.

The lead of the breakaway fell to around two minutes at the halfway point as the sprinters teams, such as Cofidis, began to take control at the front of the peloton. As the pace of the pursuit increased, the peloton started to split into various groups with the gap to the leaders slipping under one minute with 45kilometres left to race.

The situation intensified with 25kilometres to go with the attack of Josh Van Emden (LottoNL-Jumbo). Jumping clear of the peloton, with the breakaway being held at 40seconds, the Dutchman pushed on and was soon alone out front as the bunch started to pick up the pace behind. The solo effort didn’t last long and the race came back together with ten kilometres remaining as Orica-Scott jostled for position with Direct-Energie and BMC on the front.

The run in saw Juul-Jensen ride like a man possessed as he led the Orica-Scott line into the finale, fighting off attacks left, right and centre before Cort exploded to take the sprint victory just ahead of Bouhanni and continue his sprint success on Spanish soil.

Tomorrow's fourth stage heads into the mountains and covers 180kilometres from Segorbe to Lucena del Cid in a difficult mountain stage that includes five categorised climbs and a tough summit finish on the brutal category one Mas de la Costa.

Thursday, February 2: Stage 2, Alicante - Denia, 180.6 km

Tony Martin

Tony Martin winning stage 2

The race: Here's the report from stage winner Tony Martin's Katusha-Alpecin team.

After hearing teammate Alexander Kristoff had taken a win just minutes before in France, Tony Martin was sure he should try something for stage 2 in the 68th Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana. With his confidence brimming, Martin took off for the win, making it 2-for-2 for Team Katusha-Alpecin in Thursday’s races.

“We received information that Kristoff also won today so we knew we needed to do the same. I’m very happy that in my first road race for Team Katusha-Alpecin that I could get a victory and keep our morale high in the team for the next races,” said Martin.

Thursday’s stage 2 was from Alicante to Denia at 180.6k in a region well-known to Tony Martin.

“It feels great. I knew the final here from our training camps and I knew I had good condition so I had a plan in my mind and the plan worked out. It’s nice to start the season for Katusha-Alpecin like this, especially after a bad day yesterday. This makes everything good. The team supported me 100% on a stage that was kind of crazy with a lot of crashes and a lot of rain. I crashed two times myself. But I had a plan in my mind and in wet conditions not so many riders can go with me. I took some risks but everything worked out to the plan. I usually win only in the time trial so it’s special to win in this road race,” said Martin, current UCI World Time Trial champion.

Joining Martin on the stage podium were Pim Ligthart (Roompot-Nederlandse Loterij) and Primož Roglič of Team LottoNL-Jumbo, all on the same time of 4:44:35 (38.077 km/h). BMC’s Greg Van Avermaet leads on general classification after two stages of racing. Friday’s stage begins in Canals and ends in Riba-Roja de Túria at 161k.

New to Team Katusha-Alpecin for 2017, Tony Martin reinforced his decision to come to a new team.

“I was really welcomed into this team and the atmosphere is so great. It was a good decision for me to go to this team and I hope this victory gives something back to their work for me. I feel more relaxed at the start of this season. Life is not only about cycling now that I have a family so perhaps I have been able to focus in a different way,” concluded Tony Martin. Tony's daughter was born in December.

The race: Here's stage winner BMC's report:

BMC Racing Team put in a dominant performance over the opening team time trial in Spain to take the victory with an impressive 24-second margin and ride Manuel Senni into the first yellow jersey of Volta a la Comunitat Valenciana and of his professional cycling career.

However, it was the team's impressive show of strength and teamwork over the second half of the course that saw them cross the line in a blistering time of 43’17” which was more than enough to seal the victory.

Senni was the first BMC Racing Team rider to cross the finish line, and he stepped onto the podium to take the first leader's jersey of the five-day stage race.

Interview with race leader Manuel Senni:

Congratulations, Manuel Senni! Can you describe what it was like for you and the team on the course today?

“It was a tough course and very hard day especially in the first part of the race with that climb, but we had strong guys like Stefan Küng, Michael Schär and Alessandro De Marchi able to do a great job pulling at the front. In fact, everyone did a good job today. I came into this race late, so I was just trying my hardest to stay with them for as long as possible. In the end, I still had good legs and was able to go all the way. On the run into the finish line I was sitting at the front, so before I knew it, I had crossed the line first. There wasn't any plan for that to happen but I am super happy about it.”

The team finished with a substantial margin, were you aware of how strong you were finishing?

“We heard that we had set the second fastest time overall behind Team Sky at the 11km checkpoint, so we knew that we had to put in some hard work over the final part of the course and we did exactly that. We put our heads down and gave it full gas to the line but we definitely didn't expect to finish with a margin that big."

Finally, this is the first leader’s jersey of your professional cycling career. If you had to describe how you are feeling right now in one word, what would it be?

“Amazing! It's an incredible feeling and a super experience. We are here to do our best and give it everything to try and bring the yellow jersey to the finish whether that is with me or with someone else. We have a couple of guys who are looking strong for the GC, so I will continue to give 100% for the team and do what they ask of me over the next few days.”

Greg Van Avermaet:

“We prepared well for this TTT, and I think it was an important start as it was a good parcours and an excellent exercise for what is coming up over the rest of the race. We have a good team here, maybe not everyone is a time trial specialist, but for sure everyone did a really good job, and we had a smooth ride. I think that is very important for a team time trial like this where there really wasn’t a lot of time to settle down on the bike. I am proud of everyone. Every rider did their job, and we saw the result on the finish.”

Sports Director, Valerio Piva:

“This is a dream start to the season for us all. We prepared well for this opening team time trial, and it was the first objective of this race for us, and we achieved that, so it is fantastic. It was the performance of the whole team today that really stood out to me. We did a fantastic effort together. At the last moment Senni jumped into this race and not only did he do his very best job today he was able to take the yellow jersey. The joy today is for everyone to share and the team deserved this victory. We are happy, and we can now look to the next few days and do our best to defend this jersey.”
