On Sunday November 27th I was held up mtb rise to the peak of the hawks in Jumilla, the test was open scoring for the mountain bike marathon 2011, which put an end to this championship this season.
A proof that the club went 2 cyclists totanero Francisco Canovas and Juan Daniel Costa.
This test had a 56km run, with 3 major climbs and some technical sections, with the participation of approximately 150 riders, among whom were many of the best bikers in the region and nearby.
Cánovas Francisco, who started 4th in the overall standings of the open marathon, would aim to improve his position to enter the final podium, for it would have to come in before the top finishers in their class.
After going a good part of the race in the lead group and Juanda Francisco, they let themselves down, first Juanda after having mechanical problems and exceeding his effort to re-integrate into the leading group then took its toll, and then Francisco by the fast pace that marked the head.
Finally, Francisco Canovas achieved a good result coming in 17th overall and 3rd in Master-40 up to the podium in this category.
Although he could not get the third place also in the final overall after 6 races, 4 th place finish in the overall is an excellent result for this great club racer has been very consistent throughout the season.
Juanda would more behind in the number 31 overall and 7 th elite.
