the slovenian Tadej Pogacar (UAE), the great favorite of I Madrid Standardwon the online test with authority, while his partner was the Spanish Juan Ayuso prevailed in the elimination.
Times were not good at this Madrid Criterium and the online test was cut to 20 laps on the 1.1-kilometer circuit on Paseo de la Castellana.
The Emirates team’s strategy worked perfectly in both Criterium events. Pogacar attacked six laps from the end and a group formed with five riders, himself Pogacar, Raúl García Pierna, Jorge Gálvez, Carlos Rodríguez and Sergio Román.
With three laps remaining, the Slovenian launched a new attack and was left alone with an advantage that made him win the test with complete authority.
Juan Ayuso (UAE) prevailed in the elimination test. Tadej Pogacar all eyes were drawn and the man from Barcelona took advantage of the attack with just five laps to go and was left Jonathan Lastra (Caja Rural) where victory is contested in a sprint.
“Pogacar and I talked about it. Because everyone is watching him, I will attack with five laps to go. We did it and it went well,” Ayuso said on the podium after the test.
