The race consisted of two well-defined parts. the first of them totally flat, passing by the road of Las Marinas, Camino de Gandía and Miguel Hernández Avenue. Here the runners with the help of the firm and the good weather put the peloton in line and the stockings were very high.
Pedro Antonio Rodríguez and Jack Salvidge, both Sub-23 category, escaped from the stealthy surveillance of the Velosol team that let them go from kilometer 21. Both with full understanding were putting meters and seconds respect to the squad reaching the 25 seconds ahead and passing the first by the second goalie flyer - The first was for the leader of the same, which wanted to make sure his jersey. There were other escape attempts to connect with the escapees, but they did not come to fruition.
And so we entered the second phase of the race with the road stepping up little by little. When passing through La Xara, the escapees showed signs of weakness and Pedro Antonio Rodríguez is left alone. His excursion partner was absorbed by the package, he will run the same fate in the 54 kilometer where the peloton was a roller facing the mountain port scoring.

El Club Ciclista Dénia He set up a safe and very beautiful career. Pity that in the end it was tarnished the morning by the insults, shoves and shrieks that some runners and Sports Directors propitiated among themselves to elucidate differences arising in the bosom of the peloton.
We must bet on dialogue, respect and good forms for a perfect understanding and we hope that facts like this, in front of such a large audience, will not happen again. Nor do we understand the attitude of some participants when it comes to collecting their awards on the podium. Not going to that appointment is to tarnish the cycling party that culminates with the delivery of important and essential trophies.
