Vuelta a Espana stage winner Urko Berrade takes 20km solo victory at Classica Camp de Morvedre
Cycling
Urko Berrade has won the Classica Camp de Morvedre, to pick up a win in the very early stages of the season. Berrade held off a late surge from Nicolas Breuillard and Sergio Chumil to take the win.
In the UCI 1.2 race, there was a group including Alexys Brunel (Total Energies), Morne Van Nierkerk, Jack Brought and Nils Aebersold (Lidl-Trek Future) who had managed to escape from the peloton. From that group Alexys Brunel made another move, and the Frenchman was clearly on a very strong day, but he was caught on the final climb of the day.

Then it was the turn of Urko Berrade, of Equipo Kern Pharma, to make a move and he led over the summit. With 5km to go Berrade had managed to survive a strong pursuit from those behind on the descent, and still let with 15 seconds to spare. Berrade was of course part of the incredible Equipo Kern Pharma team that won three Vuelta Espana stages last season, and he was one of the winners.
And there was no stopping Berrade today, as he picked up a great victory to start his season off strongly. He'll be hoping this is a sign of things to come in 2025.

- But on what is that opinion based? Are you holding him to a different standard than others? Are you saying he should do learn to like something he doesn’t Are you saying he hasn’t achieved enough Are you saying he pretends to be better than his results? It’s actually a really strange opinion to oust if you consider it objectively or rationally. Try applying it to others or yourself by asking if not EVERYONE should then be doing more? Nobody in athletics or swimming gets criticism for not expanding their repertoire when a rival or someone else does. In fact, most who move to another event get accused of running from their rival. Opinions are boring, the reasons behind them are what count.Jumpyjohn07-11-2026

- any rider less than 25 whether they are really ready for the position of leadership of GT is probably not the case. I think Pogi himself suffered when he was defeated by Jonas in the TDF twice. But that would be the team's job to ensure support so that they can bounce back. It requires a team and time to get back up and win after getting knocked down.abstractengineer07-11-2026
