The men side was very tight with the lead group changing participants constantly. On the lead however the favorite 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 cup.
Bruno came in after for 2th. The story of the day however was local hero Antonio Morillo that was always with the lead group for an amazing 3th in front of his 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 Sánchez closing out the Top5 and clearly none of Spain’s best at the moment.
