Organized by the Zumaia Cycling Association, this race will determine the Gipuzkoa champion. Seven cyclists from the local team, Viveros San Anton-Marduko, will compete, including Mikel Egaña, Xuban Arakistain, and Oinatz Alberdi.
“"The cyclists have meticulously prepared for the home race, and they know the route better than anyone: three loops of the 'zakila', making the ascent of Iraeta from the inside on the last one, up to the Arroagoia crossroads. The race could end in a sprint, and Dani Díaz (Dimaq-Ipar maquina-Irunes) is the favorite, but the Viveros San Antón cyclists are also eager to shine in front of their people and friends."
One of the team members, Borja Osa, demonstrated his good form last Saturday by securing third place in Segura. In that 55-kilometer race, he broke away at the eighth kilometer and finished in third position, completing his most consistent race of the season.
Junior cyclists participated in two races the previous weekend. On Friday, in Goldaratza, three cyclists managed to finish the event. On Sunday, in Lazkaomendi, Berasategi reached the finish line in 33rd place, and Maite Urteaga finished in 30th place after a breakaway.
Important events are also scheduled for the coming days. Junior boys will race in Lizarra this weekend. Alevín and infant categories will compete in the Gipuzkoa Championships on Saturday afternoon in Tolosa. Furthermore, in the U23 category, the Bidasoako Itzulia begins today, with four cyclists from the Viveros San Antón youth academy participating, including Aitor Agirre, who returns to the road after a fall. Maite Urteaga will also compete in the Durango Classic next Wednesday, May 13, against high-level cyclists.
