Unai Yus, new Spanish Duathlon Champion cros

This year's edition was presented as a very open event and even more so with the absence from the starting line of the last Spanish champion Victor del Corral who on Saturday chose to participate in the Cros Triathlon World Cup.

The problem arose when seeing many contenders for the title on the starting line, from which Unai Yus would ultimately be proclaimed champion, who in 2010 was proclaimed runner-up, passing through Almagro who did not have the day he expected and could only being 7th and a long list of candidates such as Gustavo Rodriguez, winner of the 2011 Poio Qualifier, and other candidates such as Nieva, Diaz...

José Almagro tried to break the race but the Mexican Mario Salazar did not agree not to be the one who will set the pace of the race. At the start he put all the participants in a long line although later in the bike segment Salazar sank in the mud and opted to withdraw. When leaving with the bicycle, Salazar himself, Gustavo Rodriguez and Almagro were the ones who were going to lead the test.

While passing through the first bike lap, right in the middle of the test, Unai Yus achieved an important difference that he would not lose until he crossed the finish line in first position and won the title of Spanish and Ibero-American Champion.

Magnificent surprise and good performance on the bicycle of Francesc Freixer who achieved a silver medal in his first appearance in the Spanish championship.

The bronze for Gustavo Rodriguez de Cidade de Lugo.
