The final stage covered 126.5 kilometers between Morella and Vila-real, with an accumulated elevation gain of 1,960 meters. The race was characterized by high speeds and numerous breakaway attempts.
In the final classification, Ricard Fitó of CC Lleida Desguaces Pedrós finished in second place, while Adrián Robledo of Ulevel Futamine completed the podium and received recognition as the best provincial rider.
Other notable awards went to Javier Morante as the best regional cyclist, Joan M. Benassar as the winner of the intermediate sprints, and the Vigo Rías Baixas team as the best overall team. The award for the best local rider was given to Héctor Domínguez.
“"Both I and my teammates controlled the main general classification rivals at all times, and my sensations have been very positive throughout the three stages."
“"The stage was very demanding from the start, but I value the breakaway group's ability to arrive with an advantage and contest the victory."
Race director Carles Falcó thanked the sponsors, volunteers, and collaborators, emphasizing that their support is essential for continuing to bring elite and U23 cycling to the streets of Vila-real.
