Career
[edit]Born in San Martín de Valdeiglesias, García has competed as a professional since the start of the 2009 season, riding as a member of the Xacobeo–Galicia and KTM–Murcia squads before joining Caja Rural for the 2012 season.[4] On the fourth stage of the 2012 Vuelta a España, he put on a great performance by finishing fourth of the mountain stage, taking first place of his group. He exulted on the finish line, throwing kisses to the crowd; he thought he had won, but he had not, as three escapees had crossed the line before him.[5]
He has competed in four Grand Tours: three Vuelta a Españas and a Giro d'Italia.
