In 2018, Valverde was the recipient of the Vélo d'Or.[5] He had previously been runner-up to Paolo Bettini in 2006, and third in 2014.
Following his gold medal in the 2018 UCI World Road Race Championships, a section of the N-340 road in Murcia was renamed Avenida Alejandro Valverde (English: Alejandro Valverde Avenue).[6]
