While among women the Lüthi-Wakefield duo is impregnable and continues to win. Villafranca de Córdoba welcomed the participants to the twelfth edition of the Andalucía Bike Race by GARMIN and did it, nothing less than with a 30-kilometer time trial and a pure XCO course.
Starting at 10 in the morning, the first couples took off, to see the start of the female category of the UCI MARATHON SERIES at 11:15 and the male category at 12:00.
With one minute of gap between the pairs, the day seemed more than important in terms of the overall standings. In the men's category, the power of the current leaders Seewald and Stosek was threatened by the victory and the 18 seconds cut by the Wilier-Pirelli duo.
“That was the hardest stage, since you didn't have any references from your rivals. We went full throttle for the 30 kilometers " , Alleman confessed after winning the third stage. Rabensteiner, for his part, praised the work of the Belgian: “Wout is very strong. I follow his wheel as much as possible ”.
And in the women's category the leaders continue to dominate with an iron fist, without making mistakes or suffering technical or physical problems. Today another demonstration with a victory of over a minute of difference over the rivals.
“We gave everything we could give. We are very happy. Now we have a big income that we will have to manage in the next few days to ensure the final victory, ”he secured the South African Wakefield after her fourth win.
Today the queen stage, the SKODA Super Stage of 80 kilometers and 1.900 meters of elevation gain.
