In the demanding cycling circuit, a quartet was formed in the lead with Manon Genet, Alexandra Tondeur, Anna Noguera and Judith Corachán, ahead of the chasing group by 1:33 on the first lap.

An increase in the pace of the French and the Belgian, made them leave alone followed by the Spanish who were gradually distancing themselves, increasing the lead to 2 minutes in the second lap

In the final part of the segment Manon Genet left her escape partner to reach T2 with 1:08 advantage over Tondeur, 4:18 over Corachán and 4:53 over Noguera. Saleta Castro got off the bike ninth at 19 minutes, Gurutze Frades 10th to 21 'and María Pujol 12th to 27.

In the race on foot the Belgian Tondeur traced back little by little to catch up with the French Genet before reaching the second lap. At this point they were ahead of Judith Corachán and Anna Noguera who were marching together by almost 4 minutes.

A penalty of the French, made her lose 1: 50 on Toudeur and with a fading that the athlete suffered made her lose time in each kilometer, so that finally the Spanish duet reached her to fight for the silver medal in a beautiful duel between Corachán and Noguera.

Finally the victory has been for Alexandra Tondeur with a final time of 5: 48: 01

In the beautiful duel between the two Spanish for second place, Judith Corachán and Anna Noguera, made several changes of rhythm to try to escape, where in the end Judith Corachán (5: 50: 06) in the final part of the race managed to leave to get the second place in the world.
