"It's great news for us," said Eusebio Unzue, the Movistar general manager.

"Being still a young rider and with everything that he’s shown, he should be the rider who leads Spanish cycling for the next few years," he told Cyclingnews.com.

Landa will rival Nairo Quintana and Alejandro Valverde to be lead rider at Movistar.
