The French have arrived on time at the Hermitage of Calvario in the longest stage of the second edition of the Vuelta Hispania Sub 23, which has linked the 165.5 kilometers of the Teruel Andorra with the Zaragoza Borja.
The breakaway of the day was made up of the British Twelves (Torres – Fernando Barceló Team), the Spanish Ceballos (Bicicletas Rodríguez Extremadura) and the Puerto Rican Morales (Maglia Tecnosylva Bembibre).
The platoon slept excessively, especially after passing through Alto de Villanueva, and the three escapees had more than 6 minutes before the large group began its hunt.
Teams such as GD Froiz, Gomur, Brocar Ale, Ringerike or AVC Aix en Provence have placed men at the front of the platoon to gradually cut the income of the escapees, from whom Twelves first got rid of before arriving at Borja.
Already at the final port, Morales was the last of the survivors to be caught and then it was the French from the AVC Aix en Provence who arrived in time for the outcome at the Calvary hermitage and twice as much.
Clement Izquierdo has jumped out of the peloton and joined the lead with his teammate Nilsson-Julien who had previously escaped, both entering the finish line together and for the second it was both the stage victory and the general leadership, regularity and the mountain.
At 19 seconds, the first group entered, making the general classification much tighter than what was expected in the middle of the stage, with the leadership of the flying finishes going to the escaped Ceballos and the white jersey of best U21 for the Norwegian. Baksaas, who was third in the finish line.
In teams, AVC Aix en Provence has logically led, a team that will have to confirm its strength in today’s Sunday, in which the 17 teams of this Vuelta Hispania will compete in an interesting team time trial starting in Santo Domingo de la Calzada and finishing in Abadía de Cañas.
