Abel Balderstone surprised competitors by winning the Spanish National Time Trial Championships, as defending champion David De La Cruz finished second. The men's event faced major disruptions due to problems with GPS trackers, leading to confusion over times and places. This was in stark contrast to the women's race, which concluded without incident. Frustration mounted as riders awaited clarification on results, with some criticizing the management of the event. Amid this environment, the riders expressed their disappointment and concern about the organization of national championships and the impact on participation.
This is shameful, it's a Spanish National Championships, we've been here [at the finish] for 40 minutes and we've not even eaten anything at all.
We had a time reference that Romeo was the best time with 30:04, then García Pierna got 29:52 and I got 29:49.
