Olivia Baril took her first victory for new team Movistar at the Women Cycling Pro Costa De Almería ahead of Ane Santesteban (Laboral Kutxa-Fundación Euskadi) and Karolina Perekitko (Winspace).

The Canadian was the strongest on the uphill finale into Mojácar and after only three days racing with Movistar, already has a victory to add to her palmarès. Baril joined in the summer initially on a one-year deal but extended in the winter and is set to ride for the Spanish side until 2026.
