Last weekend National Cycling Championships were held in various countries and the riders of the teams we support from Orbea shined in their respective competitions.
We are proud to be part of their success and it confirms that we are on the right track by supporting teams that value young talent and cyclists with great potential.
Cédrine Kerbaol has been proclaimed French Time Trial Champion, after a spectacular victory with our Ordu over six-time champion Audrey Cordon-Ragot.
Meanwhile, Nina Berton was proclaimed Luxembourg U-23 time trial champion. She also won the silver medal in the road race.
It appears that time trials are the Ceratizit-WNT Pro Cycling specialty. They have also been able to make the most of our Ordu’s capabilities: Marta Lach, silver at the Polish Championships; Kathrin Schweinberger, taking bronze at the Austrian Championships; and Sandra Alonso, who repeated bronze at the Spanish Championships on our speed machine.
In the Spanish Championship, LABORAL Kutxa-Fundación Euskadi shined with Idoia Eraso and Eneritz Vadillo, gold and bronze in the U-23 time trial, respectively.
And in the road race, curiously, the roles were practically reversed: Eneritz was crowned U-23 champion and Idoia won the silver, demonstrating the excellence of our Orca, the Racing bicycle par excellence.
These results demonstrate the perseverance, effort and commitment of these teams to keep growing. Passion, talent and dedication that identify us and inspire us to continue driving the love of competition.
