The Flash Stage of the La Rioja Bike Race did not disappoint as it offered a fun, fast stage for racers. Coloma: "It was a super-fast stage, very competitive until the final meters. My goal was to reach the sprint, since I have a fairly fast finish, I have had the fortune to win here at home; Vlad is very strong and is going to put up a fight".

Rocío: "I managed to put myself in the lead but later I tried to give it up because I was pulling hard and everyone else asked me to ease up, so I had to collaborate. I was at the head of the race until I saw my opportunity to go for it. I am very happy to have achieved victory".
