Alejandro himself explained: On the longest climb of the circuit I managed to get into the lead and on the descent I entered the first three, opening a gap between ten and fifteen seconds, but I had a problem with a stone, the wheel came off me and I had a pretty bad fall.

His comeback was also highlighted by the national coach, Mikel Zabala: The attitude has been impeccable, he has played everything and was up for a medal. He has shaken off his frustration a bit and, even so, he sprints for the eleven in the final stretch.
