Brazil will continue to be represented in the WorldTour via the squad that has a history of trusting in Latin America’s talent. Ana Vitória ‘Tota’ Magalhães (RJ, BRA; 2000), a current member of the BePink – Bongioanni outfit, has signed a contract with the Movistar Team for the next two seasons (2025-26).
It was in 2023 that Tota, who had already competed at La Vuelta Femenina a year prior with Spanish team Soltec, took the leap to European racing full-time with the prestigious, but now-defunct Bizkaia-Durango. Brazilian road race champion in 2023 and winner of the national ITT last June -already as BePink rider-, Magalhães has competed in other WorldTour events with her performances in the Flèche Wallonne, Strade Bianche, Nieuwsblad, Burgos or the Giro. In the latter, she shone in 2024 with two breakaways and the Maglia Azzurra as best climber. She also completed the Paris Olympics’ road race this August.
“I’m super emotional about this, really happy to take this step,” admitted Magalhães. “This is yet another dream that comes true in my career, and I’m also taking this step ahead with the Movistar Team, a team I’ve always held in great esteem. I would define myself as an all-rounder. I like to race aggressively, seeking for the breakaways, risking it all, enjoying myself at the front. However, what I love the most is teamwork, and that is what I’ve come to the Movistar Team for: to support my team-mates as much as possible and get some nice victories alongside them.”
