The passage of the cycling world champion through Navarra has been tremendous. The Dutch rider has prevailed in the two classic UCI World Tour for women that have been held in the Autonomous Community. Annemiek Van Vleuten ( Mitchelton-Scott ) won yesterday with authority in Lekunberri and today she did the same in Pamplona, ​​on a 122.9 kilometer stage with the beginning and end in the Navarran capital. The current world champion has returned to enter the finish line alone, this time ahead of the Italians, Elisa Longo (Trek-Segafredo), second at 1’14 ”, and Maria Giulia Confalonieri (Cera Tizit-WNT) , third, at 2’06 ”.

The day started with 24 teams in the race and a peloton made up of 143 runners. With several walls of great unevenness and the El Perdón peak near the finish line, a restless day was anticipated. And so it has been. Nervous stage, with a lot of heat and wind and some runners who were flying. The average speed of the first hour of the race was 40 kilometers. The steep slopes, the walls and the wind have been breaking the group over the kilometers. The race has been broken from the wall of Tirapu. Ane Santesteban was the first to leave until Elisa Longo caught up with her.

With the Italian runner ahead, Van Vleuten jumped out of the pack and both, after a beautiful passage through the cobbled slopes of Artajona, continued to be paired. It was at kilometer 100 when the world champion took an energetic blow to leave alone on the way to Pamplona. The distances were increasing each time and a new victory for Van Vleuten was a matter of time. With impeccable authority, she has crossed the finish line in Pamplona alone, thus achieving her second consecutive victory and crowning herself in Navarra as what she is, the cycling world champion.

The current world champion, Annemiek Van Vleuten, leaves her stamp as she passes through Navarra

The Dutch cyclist Annemiek Van Vleuten, from the Australian team Mitchelton – Scott, has been the winner of the first of the two classic UCI World Tour women’s cycling that are held today and tomorrow in Navarra. The current world champion crossed the Lekunberri goal first, followed by the Spanish María Victoria García, from the Italian team Ale’btc Ljubljana, and in third place the Dutch  Anna Van der Breggen, from the Dutch team Boels Dolmans Cyclingteam. .

The first women’s cycling classic that has been held in 2020 has left Pamplona to finish in Lekunberri, with a route of 118.3 kilometers. The day has been hard on a route with four mountain passes, continuous steep slopes and a very demanding route. The first two passes of the stage – Ulzurrun and Etxauri – have been lived by the grouped peloton and leaving no options for getaways.

On the third climb of the day, the Guembe peak, it was when the peloton was completely broken, leaving a group of 10 runners ahead. The escape has been gradually losing troops and increasing distances between the ten runners that made it up. With an enormous pedaling rhythm, in the last pass of the race, the Alto de Zuarrarate, Van Vleuten, Mavi García and Van der Breggen have been opening a gap, who have no longer given respite to their road companions. Among the three was the winner.

The Dutch Van Vleuten was the first to open space to reach the Lekunberri goal alone, followed, 18 seconds later, by an excellent Mavi García and, 27 seconds, Van der Breggen entered.

Tomorrow, Friday, July 24, the second and last round of the two Clásicas Féminas de Navarra will be held. It will leave Pamplona, ​​to travel 122.9 kilometers, and will also end in the capital of the Autonomous Community. 

Both events are registered in the UCI (International Cycling Union) world calendar in the elite women’s category.
