The reason<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Argentine cyclist took the lead from Jayco F\u00e9lix Engelhardt in the stage that finished in Segovia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Argentine cyclist Eduardo Sep\u00falveda, from the Lotto team,\u00a0He has taken victory in the General classification of the Vuelta a Castilla y Le\u00f3n, after winning the second stage and gaining fourteen seconds over the Team Jayco rider F\u00e9lix Engelhardt, who ended up losing the lead in Segovia.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The rain in the first few kilometers threatened to complicate the second stage of the tour, 186.2 kilometers between Coca and Segovia, where a breakaway of two cyclists quickly formed.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Jetse Bol (Burgos BH) and Eugenio S\u00e1nchez (Kern Pharma) had a lead of up to six minutes before finally being absorbed by the peloton between the two climbs, although Bol achieved his goal of winning the mountain jersey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With many riders within a handful of seconds, a number of offensive strategies were expected in this second stage on a tough track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Education First has been demanding from the first kilometer of the climb to Navafr\u00eda until Jefferson Cepeda's attack with 46 kilometers to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With the Ecuadorian 18 seconds behind leader F\u00e9lix Engelhardt, he tried to respond and set a steady pace, aided by his Team Jayco teammates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cepeda's pedaling helped him reach the top of Navafr\u00eda with more than half a minute's advantage and face a difficult descent due to the wet road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The peloton had a tough time closing the gap on the descent, but there were opportunities in the flat kilometers, from the Navafr\u00eda mountain pass to the city of Segovia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With 30 kilometers to go, the lead group's gap on Cepeda has reached 50 seconds, but Engelhardt wasn't alone and took the lead with a clear advantage over those chasing him, as Astana opted to lend a hand to the leader's team in looking for an option for their rider Simone Velasco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With the road far from flat until the finish, attacks came from the favorites, breaking the pace of the chase for the thirty riders who formed the main group, giving the breakaway some breathing space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jayco struggled to regain control of the race, but Hagos Berhe's work proved invaluable to his teammate Engelhardt until, with twenty kilometers to go, the group managed to put an end to Cepeda's adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At Torrecaballeros, with the finish line ten kilometers away, Spaniard Pablo Castrillo (Kern Pharma) and Argentine Eduardo Sep\u00falveda (Lotto) managed to surprise the group as it took a break.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The understanding between the two was perfect, and although Education First entered the group to try to break the breakaway, the numerous roundabouts at the entrance to Segovia worked to the advantage of the breakaways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SEpulveda ended up beating Castrillo in the sprint and wasted no time in celebrating both the stage victory and the overall victory in the Vuelta a Castilla y Le\u00f3n.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The 25-second gap at the finish line was more than enough to finish as the leader of the overall standings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n F\u00e9lix Engelhardt finished third, handing victory to an Argentine rider who showed both intelligence and ambition, earning him the title of the Castilian-Leonese race.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" La Raz\u00f3n El ciclista argentino le quit\u00f3 el
