He mountain prize It was for the French cyclist of Burgos BH Clément Alleno, who saw the road like this, "the drain It formed very quickly, at kilometer zero of the race. The seven riders worked well together in the relays. On the first climb, I could only manage third, but I was able to analyze the rest of the rivals and felt I was the fastest in the group. On the second, I got on the wheel of Alustiza, who had won before, and I overcame him to take the points. In the third, which was cobblestone, I fought with García Pierna and I won again. Afterwards, we were left with four riders in the lead and I was able to win the fourth mountain sprint as well, securing this prize. On the final climb, I was with Carlos García Pierna and I told him that he could go alone if he wanted, since I would try to finish the race calmly and save strength for the Ordizia Classic Thursday. When the peloton caught me, I tried to help the team and bring some water to my teammates. I haven't raced in this much heat since last year. You have to drink a lot and pour water on your head, legs, and the rest of your body every ten minutes to stay hydrated. It was a tough day, but I'm very happy with how it felt. It's an important race for the team, as we're racing close to Burgos, and having a cyclist in front of you fighting for the mountain is a positive thing. Now it's time to recover and, in Ordizia“I think I can have a good race.”
