MTB Guadalajara: Molina de Aragón


Date: August 26, 2012
Place: Molina de Aragón (Guadalajara)
Time: 10:00
Distance: 40 kms
Number of bikers: 120

It is being so difficult to get and keep save the leader jersey in the Guadalajara MTB Championship. The sixth scoring race of the Championship was placed in Molina de Aragón and GARVÍA BIKE – CENTRO TIR would try to keep save the leader jersey.

Riding in the head of the race, a lot of bikers lost ourselves and we should ride around 7 extra-kilometers.
In the middle of the race, I was placed in the 38th position but I could finish as 3rd classified in my category. The goal to keep save the leader jersey was successfully achieved and we will wear in the next race.

Villar de Cañas (Cuenca)


Date: August 12, 2012
Place: Villar de Cañas (Cuenca)
Time: 9:30
Distance: 35 kms
Number of bikers: 70

Second year that GARVÍA BIKE – CENTRO TIR came back to Villar de Cañas (Cuenca).

At kilometer 8, I decided to take the race control.

My persecutor asked me to decrease my pace because we were riding alone and he would not fight with me any kind of final sprint. I was doing the entire job.

I made a terrible mistake because I was riding hard and I could go away alone, but I would prefer to help my persecutor to ride behind me and cross the finish line easily (he told me that the race was for me). I trusted on his words and I made a mistake.

Close to the finish line, my persecutor started a final sprint. I could not believe that! However, I started my sprint with some delay and I was able to remove the gap, but it was not enough to win my race.

2nd final position. Half a wheel did not allow me to set the fairest result.

What does not destroy GARVÍA BIKE – CENTRO TIR makes us stronger.

MTB Guadalajara: Brihuega


Date: August 5, 2012
Place: Brihuega (Guadalajara)
Time: 9:00
Distance: 52 kms
Number of bikers: 200

The aim was to recover the leader jersey in the fifth scoring race of the Guadalajara MTB Championship.

During the last 17 kilometers I was riding hard to keep save the 3rd place, but a couple of nasty falls did not allow me to fight for the podium in the best conditions.

However, GARVÍA BIKE – CENTRO TIR achieved the aim to recover the leader jersey again.
