Despite a turbulent start to the Vuelta Femenina, the Movistar team are ready to take on the remainder of their biggest home race and have hopes of overall success.
Their race got off to a controversial start when the Spanish team were fined for late arrival to the UCI commissaires' bike checks before stage 1's team time trial. Subsequent teams were then delayed, implying post-stage that Movistar were to blame, and the squad was fined 1,600 CHF for their lateness.
