The juniors will fight for the Madrid championship in Corpa
After a weekend of well-deserved rest for the junior team, on Sunday 14th they will be back racing in Corpa. The race will decide the champion of Madrid in a course of 76 kilometres. Carlos Moreno and Hugo Pradas will take part in the dispute to wear the jersey of the community. They will arrive to the race after a short break, bigger in the case of the rider from Vicálvaro. In addition to them, seven more riders from the team will take part in the VIII Memorial Antonio Suarez.
The race will have a leg-breaking profile with four climbs, two of them scoring for the king of the mountain classification, but it will not be excessively long or selective. The climbs to the town of Corpa and the Alto de los Cochinos will reduce the peloton in a race that will slightly exceed 650 metres of positive height gain.
Isaac Cantón will be in charge of the junior team that will fight for the victory and the champion’s jersey in Corpa: “We are really looking forward to the first race of the year at home, in Madrid. We have almost the whole team taking part and we will have to control the race from start to finish to try to win it. We also have the objective of fighting for the Madrid championship with the riders we have from Madrid”.
Hugo Pradas is one of the riders of the team that will opt to take the red jersey. He arrives at the race with a good feeling after “a few weeks preparing the race”. He will try to become champion of Madrid after “having done a great job”.
Carlos Moreno will be, together with Pradas, the other Polti Kometa rider who will have a chance to win the regional trophy: “I have a good feeling and I’m looking forward to it, especially knowing that it’s the Madrid Championships. I’m very well prepared physically after this three-week break. I have trained several times in the area of the race course and I think it adapts very well to my characteristics, in a profile that if you want it can be quite hard”.
