Marc Soler Giménez (born 22 November 1993) is a Spanish cyclist, who currently rides forUCI WorldTeamUAE Team Emirates XRG.
Soler was born inVilanova i la Geltrú. In 2017, Soler finished third overall behind team mateAlejandro Valverde andAlberto Contador in theVolta a Catalunya, winning the young rider's classification. Later that year was named in the startlist for theVuelta a España.[5]
In March 2018, he won theParis–Nice stage race.[6][7] Having started the final stage 37 seconds down on race leaderSimon Yates (Mitchelton–Scott) in sixth place overall, Soler attacked around halfway into the stage along with compatriotDavid de la Cruz (Team Sky); the duo joinedOmar Fraile (Astana) at the head of the race, and the trio managed to stay clear of the rest of the field by the time they reachedNice. As de la Cruz and Fraile contested stage honours, Soler finished third – acquiring four bonus seconds on the finish in addition to three gained at an earlier intermediate sprint – and with a 35-second gap to Yates and the remaining general classification contenders, it was enough to give Soler victory over Yates by four seconds.
In June 2021, Soler was forced to abandon the2021 Tour de France, after being involved in a crash on the opening stage and suffering fractures to both arms'radial heads and his leftulnar head.[8]
