In the first stage of 75th edition of the Volta a la Comuniat Valenciana miscalculated in the last drop and cannot deduct the difference that the Italians Tonelli and Tarozzibut this Thursday on the second day Matej Mohoric did not fail.
The second phase showed a profile similar to the inaugural one, with the climb to Alto Pla de Corrals (3rd category) nine kilometers away, perfect terrain for Mohoric to try again. All his rivals know that the profile of the course suits the runner of Bahrain-Victorius and he himself did not hide his cards before the start: “The last descent? I will do my best. This is a good chance to win.”
The race has a traditional breakout, consisting of Txomin Juaristi, Eugenio Sánchez, Sinubé Fernández, Johan Meens and José María García. They enjoyed their moments of glory, but it lasted as long as it had to last because their margin was not much and the route was not in their favor. From a 36 second margin with 40 kilometers to go, it went to 20″ with 28 kilometers to go.
Neutralized, a new race is born. And Mohoric, without actually going crazy as he himself pointed out, ended up achieving a clear victory. The first of the season and his 24th win as a professional, leading the Giovanni Lonardi (Team Polti Kometa), Simone Consonni (Lidl-Trek)second and third respectively.
This Friday, third stage, with a more favorable profile so that the fate of the day is decided in the sprint.
