Uxío Abuín's victory at the Miyazaki World Cup (Japan)

The Galician in state of grace adds a new victory after the one achieved last week in South Korea

This early morning (tomorrow in Japan) has been played the last round of the 2016 World Cup in Miyazaki. The victory has been for Uxío Abuín with a time of 1: 52: 29, the second place was for the Portuguese Joan Silva 1” from Uxío and the third for the American Gregory Billington 2” from Galician.

The women's competition was the first to be contested, it was decided in the race on foot after arriving a large group of triathletes together to the T2. The victory was for the Japanese Ai Ueda with a time of 2: 01: 02 followed by the Americans Summer Cook with 2: 01: 24 and Renee Tomlin with 2: 01: 48. As regards the Spanish Melina Alonso was the best in the 25ª position, Camila Alonso ended 27ª and Zuriñe Rodríguez 30 ª.

Later the male competition was played, the Australian Matt Robers and American William Hufman They were the first to reach T1 and during the start of the cycle they formed a break of about 8 units that had an advantage of around 15” with the chasing group, who soon caught up with them thanks to the work of Ricardo Hernández and other triathletes.

To the T2 came a large group of more than 30 units and after a quick transition they went running with Uxío well placed in the first positions. Little by little the group was reducing with the passage of kilometers until the last meters where only three triathletes arrived together, Uxío Abuín who took the victory, Joan Silva that was 2º and Gregory Billington who achieved the 3ª square.

Unfortunately it seems that Ricardo Hernández He could not finish the race as we commented in the previous one ... but his work in cycling was very important so that he had not escaped and could decide the test running ... where Uxío was the best.
