The Vuelta Ciclista de Valencia in Spain ended yesterday with a great victory for Uruguayan Mauricio Moreira, from the Vigo-Rías Baixas team, after the last stage in which he finished in 14th place.
It is the second victory for Salta in the European continent in a stage race, showing his evolution in this Elite and Sub 23 category event.
Mauricio was the dominator of the competition, also winning the Regularity Award, for his second places in the first stage and in the time trial and first place in the third.
