New competitive experience for Colombian Samuel Flórez in the Basque and Navarre calendar. The rider from Medellín took part this Saturday in a new edition of the Mikel Deunaren Saria in Oñati, while this Sunday he competed in the XLII Prueba Liernia, with a short time trial and a second sector with several climbs and a mountain finish.
In the online race, a short route punctuated by climbs to Liernia, Ergoene, Liernia, Zerain and Liernia again, Flórez finished second, one second behind Gari Ugarte. In the subsequent time trial, over 4 kilometres, Flórez would set the fifth best time.
