National Championships 2025 (NC) β Spain πͺπΈ β Road Race ME – Granada – Granada : 191,4 km
The Spanish National Road Race Championships are held annually to decide the Spanish cycling champions in the road race discipline, across various categories.
Under-23 time trial world champion IvΓ‘n Romeo (Movistar) soloed to victory in the men’s road race at the Spanish national championships, going away alone with 20km to go to claim his first elite national title.
Fernando BarcelΓ³ (Caja Rural-Seguros RGA), who was with Romeo until 20km to go, held off two chasers to take second, whilst Roger AdriΓ (Red Bull-Bora-Hansgrohe) took third in a two-up sprint against Juan Pedro LΓ³pez (Lidl-Trek).
It was a long and hot day in the Spanish nationals down in Granada, with the riders battling against 40-degree heat as they chased the national champions jersey.
Heading into the final part of the hilly route around Granada, the front of the race had been whittled down to fewer than 10 riders, with LΓ³pez in the lead alone for some time.
However, the chasers caught LΓ³pez, and as the attacks intensified into the finale, Romeo and BarcelΓ³ attacked together with 28km to go, going clear of the select group.
Then, at 20km to go, Romeo went away on his own, never to be seen again, using his world-class time trialing skills to hold on all the way to the finish, winning by 56 seconds in the end.
BarcelΓ³ held off the chasing pair of AdriΓ and LΓ³pez, beating them by a whole minute as the heat saw big gaps develop on the road to Granada.
The rest of the previous lead group came in nearly three minutes down as the rest of the race rolled home in dribs and drabs behind a delighted Romeo, who took his first WorldTour win two weeks ago at the CritΓ©rium du DauphinΓ©. He wore the yellow jersey there, and will now wear the Spanish jersey for the next 12 months.
