In the women’s race Espe Barreras did not give a chance to anyone, demolishing the field by over 2:30mins. In second place leading the chase pack the whole way was Duna Gordillo, and in third was Anna Tschirky who made the most of the sprint to the line with Erica Revil in 4th & Iona Revil closing the Top5.
The men’s side was very tight with the lead group changing participants constantly. In the lead however the favourite Noic Garioud was always there with Bruno Hasulyo and the two never relinquished the lead. On the final 200m Noic made a sprint and left everyone in the dust for the win. Bruno came in after for second. The story of the day however was local hero Antonio Morillo that was always with the lead group for an amazing third position in front of his home crowd. With an amazing come back from behind, last week’s winner Donato Freens redeemed himself for 4th and showed he’s a contender at any event. Not far behind was Aaron Sanchez closing out the Top5 and clearly one of Spain’s best at the moment.
The Junior & Amateur races were a big success with nearly a hundred participants showing again why Spain has the brightest future of SUP racing.
