Newly crowned track European champions in the Madison, Albert Torres and Sebastián Mora, have signed a contract extension to keep them with Spanish WorldTour squad Movistar Team for a further season, during which their main focus will remain the Madison track event at the postponed Tokyo Olympic Games next summer.

Torres' road programme in 2020 included the Tour de Pologne, Tirreno-Adriatico and his first Grand Tour – October's Giro d'Italia – which he finished, including a seventh-place finish on stage 19 in Asti, which was won by CCC's Josef Cerny.
