Sergio Calvo, new Galician U19 road race champion

Sergio Calvo from Ourense was proclaimed new Galician champion of cycling in the juvenile category after winning alone a demanding race of 108 kilometres that had its start and finish in O Rosal and presented up to three passes through the Alto da Portela. Juan Núñez (Cambre-Renault-Caeiro) and Iván Blanco (Padronés-Cortizo) won silver and bronze.

Calvo had a great performance in a race, promoted by the Club Ciclista Rosal, which he faced without companions: he would move from the peloton in the last 40 kilometres to catch up around kilometre 85 to a breakaway of eight riders that reached a lead of more than three minutes. On the last climb to Portela, he went on the attack again to unhook all his breakaway companions and reach the finish line alone with more than a minute’s margin over his closest pursuers.
