Another triumph for the breakaway in Valencia
L’Oronet determined the outcome of the second stage of the Volta a Valencia, a day in which the breakaway triumphed again and in which again there was a change of leadership. A stage after which Haimar Etxeberria remains the best asset of the EOLO-KOMETA Cycling Team in the classification. Frenchman Adrien Marie (Aix-en-Provence) was the fastest among the seven riders who broke the discipline of the group on the climb and managed to feed an income of one minute. With his victory, the yellow. A peloton led by Etxeberria was 59″ behind.
In the stage, the work of Álex García, very active on the first day in the chase and this Saturday in the search for the breakaway, stood out. He tried first on the flat and then on the first pass over the Oronet, but those attempts did not crystallise on a day where the peloton never left any margin until the last third. “I’m happy with how things are going in this race, because lately in training I’ve been feeling very good but then in competition for one reason or another I didn’t see any results. Here in Valencia I’m feeling good physically and I’m able to help and work at my best for the team”, said García.
