Date:

Sometimes talking about the caste of cyclists and saying they are made of new paste, it is commented on situations like the one experienced this Saturday, in the last stage of Itzulia 2022.

Ion Izaguirre, always well placed in the middle of the best, dropped less than four kilometers before the end of the stage. The front wheel of the racer Cofidis touched by that of Vingegaard and he came to the earth; just at the moment Vlasov launched an attack.

Not only did Ion give up, he even reached the heights of the riders leading the stage, and still had enough strength to jump on the wheel of Mark Soler when he attacked and to fight in the sprint against Vlasov glued to his wheel.

Not only did he win on stage, but he improved his overall positions to finish 2nd afterwards Daniel Felipe Martinez. “I’m excited. In the fall I saw everything lost, so winning here, at Arrate, was an unparalleled way to end Itzulia, also in the presence of my family and friends, and as always, supported by the fans. I finish the race super happy ”, the man from Cofidis acknowledged in statements collected by EFE at the end of the stage.
