Mireia Benito (AG Insurance-Soudal Quick-Step) sprang a surprise at the Spanish Championships by beating defending champion Mavi García (Liv Racing TeqFind) to the elite women’s time trial crown.
García had won the time trial and road race double at the past three Spanish Championships, and she set out as the strong favourite on the 32km course around Sevilla la Nueva, outside Madrid. Her winning streak ended here, however, as she was pipped to the jersey by a solitary second by Benito, who gauged her effort perfectly to claim the title. Sandra Alonso (Ceratizit-WNT) completed the podium in third.
