Day 1

On Sunday 08/05 the first stage of the prestigious race was held and the final result has left a bittersweet taste in the KH 7 team. Anna Ramírez stood out, who took the victory with an advantage of more than four minutes with respect to Ramona Gabriel , its main rival. The duo formed by Núria Picas and Eduard Barceló also won the stage in its mixed mode. Bad news, however, for Josep Betalú, one of the favourites, who was left out of the competition due to a knee injury. As for the boys, this very fast stage was decided in a sprint between Herrero, Looser and Bou. Our runner, Konny Looser was in second position.

Anna Ramírez: "We have taken advantage of some areas to shorten the route, always within the legality, obviously, since we have passed through all the mandatory crossing points"

Núria Picas: "Eduard Barceló, who is a very good orienteer, has had the ability to cut back at some points along the route and it has worked out very well for us".

Day 2

Núria Picas and Eduard Barceló, from the KH7 team, won the stage again in a mixed duo and distanced their pursuers by more than 20 minutes in a race with temperatures exceeding 40 degrees. After yesterday's solo victory, KH7 rider Anna Ramírez preferred to reach the finish line with Vera Looser, focusing more on stage 3, a really tough day, thus maintaining her lead in the general standings.

For their part, at the head of the race, Pau Salvá and Óscar Carrasco, from KH7, led by about a minute, after a strong attack on the peloton, although it was our ambassador Konny Looser who was the great entertainer of the stage. Looser wanted to make up for his second position in the previous stage but it was Zubero who got the victory, leaving Konny, again, in second position. Although Julen Zubero has been the fastest in the second stage, it is Francisco Herrero, from Cannondale TB, who keeps the red jersey.

Day 3

In the third stage, Cannondale TB team rider Roberto Bou took the victory. Konny Looser entered the finish line five minutes later, glued to the wheel of Francisco Herrero, also from Cannondale TB. In the women's classification, Anna Ramírez, from the KH7 team, dominated the stage and thus increased her lead in the general classification. Three out of three for the KH7 duo Núria Picas and Eduard Barceló. Another victory that brings them even closer to the medal.

During the stage, however, the medical team had to make an appearance, lamenting the death of one of its participants. From TwoNav we regret the loss of Ernesto Escolano Gil, 51 years old, during the race in the third stage. We send our condolences to his family and friends.

Day 4

The day began with a minute of silence in memory of the titan Ernesto Escolano, who died during the previous stage. After the cut of the route that affected the 3rd stage, the fourth remained as the longest of this edition, with 116 km and almost 958 meters of unevenness and being the first contact with the dunes.

Anna Ramírez, from the KH7 team, achieved the third stage victory of the four disputed in the sprint and maintains her five-minute lead over the cyclist Vera Looser. The mixed duo made up of Núria Picas and Eduard Barceló remain entrenched in first position, 40 minutes behind Mónica Yuliana and Valentín Sanjuán.

The leader of the general, Fran Herrero of the Cannondale TB team, is closer to the final victory after crossing first in this tough stage, in which the wind and high temperatures stood out. Blacksmith: "I dedicate this victory to our deceased colleague"

Day 5

Anna Ramírez, from KH 7, is second, adding one more minute ahead of Vera Looser in the general classification. More than forty minutes ahead of the second classified leave Núria Picas and Eduard Barceló, from KH 7, very close to the final victory in the mixed duo, finishing second in this fifth stage.

Francisco Herrero, from Cannondale TB, was third, closely followed by Konny Looser, who sees the Titan Desert title slipping away from him.
