Career
Lampre–ISD (2012–2014)
He impressed the team managers after getting second place of the 2011 Girobio, a smaller version of the Giro d'Italia for younger riders. The team signed him for 2012 and 2013. In December 2012, Anacona was injured in a training crash, after he collided with a dog. He suffered a broken peroneal malleolus and dislocated his ankle bone.[5]
In the mountainous 2014 Tour of Utah, Anacona helped his leader Chris Horner obtain the second place of the race, taking the third step of the podium himself.[6] On the mountaintop finish of Stage 9 of the 2014 Vuelta a España, Anacona almost took the leader's jersey by soloing to the line for the stage victory. He attacked from a breakaway of 31 riders and missed the top spot in the overall classification by a mere 9 seconds.[7]
Movistar Team (2015–2019)
In 2015, Anacona went to on an initial two-year contract.[8] He was named in the start list for the 2015 Tour de France.[9]
Arkéa–Samsic (2020–2022)
In September 2019, it was announced that Anacona – along with Dayer Quintana and Nairo Quintana – was moving to the team for the 2020 season.[10] During his three years with the team, he won the 2021 Trofeo Andratx–Mirador d'Es Colomer – held as part of the Vuelta a Mallorca – and the mountains classification at the 2022 Route d'Occitanie.[11] [12]
