About 100 meters from the line of judgment, located in the Ramon Fonst Sports Hall, Marcos and Nodarse were released from the peloton and only a final stretch of the capital allowed to score the victory.

And if happy was the capitalist rider, much more enjoyed the champion of the turn, Frank Sosa, who dedicated success to his parents, coaches and the young team that accompanied him.
“This is the dream I had when I started riding bicycles eight years ago. I just want now to have the opportunity to compete more abroad and learn a lot more, “said the 20-year-old boy wearing his jersey, who took, of course, the highest honors in the under 23 category.
By collective, Sancti Spíritus retained the top, and in the section of mountain, defined days ago, Yasmani Balmaseda was the most exalted. After ten grueling days, of the group of 86 cyclists who left Baracoa, 66 entered the capital triumphantly.
