Next Sunday, 6 October, the Spanish Cyclocross Cup 'XIV Trofeo Villa de Gijón', organized by the UCI Unicaja-Gijón team, will take place. One day before, on 5 October, the Asturias Championship 'IV Trofeo Las Mestas' will be held. Both races will be held at the Sports Complex of Las Mestas, in Gijón, with the collaboration of Unicaja.

 

These competitions are organized by the cyclocross team UCI Unicaja-Gijón, and have been presented this week at the Town Hall of Gijón.

 

The presentation was attended by the Councilor for Sports and Education, Jorge Pañeda; the president of the Cycling Federation of Principado de Asturias, José Antonio Díaz; the president of UCI Unicaja-Gijón, José Luis Junquera; and, on behalf of Unicaja, the Regional Manager – North, Luis Manuel Taboada.

 

Both races will bring together more than a thousand athletes in the various categories of the competition.

 

Saturday will start at 10.30 a.m., with the master categories, and at 4.15 p.m. the last of the races will start. On Sunday, the start time for the first race will be at 9.00 a.m. and the last one at 3.30 p.m., with the elite men's and Under-23 categories.

 

The races count towards the national ranking and, in the case of the Spanish Cup, also towards the international ranking, very important points for the riders in the UCI categories, with a view to the international races in which they compete.
