Spain, the riders block the first stage of the Gran Camiño due to bad weather

General Winter hit cycling, but where you don’t really expect. The first stage of Gran Camiño, in Galicia, was stopped by the same riders 20 km from the finish line in Sarria, on the first slopes of the last mountain grand prix of the day, the Alto de Montan, due to a very thick snowfall. The Galician race saw the seasonal debut of the last winner of the Tour Jonas Vingegaard. The day had already started in very low temperatures right from the start, in Muralla de Lugo. At the time of the neutralization, decided by the group, Gianni was on the attack with about thirty seconds of advantage Mosconthe Austrian Schonberger and the Spanish Hernaiz.

Descent too dangerous

After the gpm, the race was supposed to take an 8km steep descent, rightly considered extremely dangerous by the riders due to the icy road surface. The runners thus made a U-turn and all returned to the nearest town. No winner, race cancelled. Just Vingegaard, who had won an intermediate sprint, was one of the most active in the discussions with the racing direction. We will start again tomorrow with the Tui-Monte Trega, an uphill finish at an altitude of 320 meters above sea level.
