In doing so, he became the first cyclist to achieve an Olympic road race gold medal and a podium finish in each of the three Grand Tours.

The club has also produced a number of other professional riders, including Jhonatan Narváez and Jonathan Caicedo.

[14] In his first full year for the Movistar Team, Carapaz came second in both the GP Industria & Artigianato and the Route du Sud.

[22] On Stage 13, Carapaz attacked and got clear of the two favourites for overall victory, Vincenzo Nibali (Bahrain–Merida) and Primož Roglič (Team Jumbo–Visma).

[26] His first win for the team came on 7 August, on the third stage of the Tour de Pologne: on the uphill drag to the finish, Carapaz made an attack in the final kilometre and held off the peloton.

[29] In the Vuelta a España, Carapaz was once again a challenger for overall victory and traded places with defending champion Primož Roglič several times for the race lead.

[35] In so doing, he took the general classification lead, which he defended over the remaining five stages to take the overall win by 17 seconds ahead of Rigoberto Urán.

[37][38] After the other three riders were involved in crashes and lost time in the first week, Carapaz emerged as the sole leader.

[40] Carapaz won the Olympic road race, finishing over a minute clear of the rest of the field.

[44] His bad luck continued at the Tour de la Provence about a week later, from which he was forced to withdraw after testing positive for COVID-19 despite showing no symptoms.

The pair stayed away for over 100 kilometers and raced all the way to the line with Carapaz taking the stage win and moving into 2nd on GC.
