For the men meanwhile, Nys prevailed after an incredibly exciting battle in Pontevedra, denying home crowd favourite
Felipe Orts and taking his biggest career victory in the process. As they took the bell, Orts and Nys were 12 seconds clear of Van der Haar and Iserbyt, making it look like a two horse race for the title. Orts was beginning to look a little tired though and as he unmounted over the planks, Nys hopped away, creating a small gap at the front. As more errors began to creep into Orts' riding that gap only grew as Nys took victory.
