Riders of Rh+/POLARTEC U23 awarded on Sunday the teams victory in the overall Cup of Spain, a win which underlines, above all, consistency and quality that holds the group directed by Rafael Diaz Justo, who in the last race was relieved by his colleague Felix Garcia Casas, director of the junior squad.

The last of the nine races of the Cup of Spain, the Grand Prix Macario, was held in Alcalá de Henares (Madrid) on a hilly course that, without being high mountain, led a demanding and fast race, marked by a early breakaway that eventually reached the finish line with his strongest members, including Alvaro Cuadros, who with his fourth place finish and the Prize of the Mountain ratified his early success in the Guerrita Trophy and, above all, his maturity as a cyclist.

Thanks to his work and the competitiveness of the rest of his teammates also was won the victory in the overall Cup of Spain by teams, a classification that Alberto Contador Foundation has been having race after race, in what is a proof of the strength of all its riders, who have managed to bring their work and sporting quality at every appointment.

Rafael Diaz Justo says that the balance of the Cup of Spain “is positive, because we have taken the teams leadership from the start of the competition, which shows that we have been the best block throughout the year, not to mention that we have also been individual leaders in some races”.

For the director of Rh+/POLARTEC, “the format of the competition in the distribution of points penalizes much the final result if you suffer a problem like a crash or a mechanical in any race. A ruling throws it all ruined, but I liked very much the races included in the Cup of Spain. I remain, of course, with the victory of Alvaro Cuadros in Guerrita, where he arrived alone, with two minutes ahead of the peloton. And, on the contrary, I left with the desire to make a good Valenciaga. “

Fran Contador, as manager of Rh+/POLARTEC, “to have won the Cup of Spain in the third year of the team in this category is very important. It shows that we are doing a great job with young people, as they have been fulfilling years have won this award. Being the best team in Spain is a proud”.

Spanish Cup has had its ups and downs. “We started very strong, with very good results”, says Fran Contador, “although in the last races, because crashes and illness, have not achieved good scores, especially in the individual classification, that we led throughout the year with Juan Camacho and Fernando Barceló, besides being very well positioned with Miguel Angel Ballesteros until the last two races. If we add to that the victory of Cuadros in the Guerrita, our balance sheet is very positive”.
