Hernández triumphs

In the absence of Spain's foremost cyclo-cross rider Egoitz Murgoitio, Aitor Hernández (pictured above. And, yes, that's him) took out his third win of the year in Legazpi earlier today, BiciCiclismo reports. In the industrial Gipuzkoan town, the Orbea rider bested team-mate Rubén Ruzafa, while his former Euskaltel partner Aketza Peña made a welcome return to the podium with a third place finish. The race doubled up as the Gipuzkoan champs, and the fourth-placed rider, Asier Arregi, took out that particular competition.

Xabier Goikoetxea came out tops in the juniors' race ahead of Alex Aranburu and Josu Urrestarazu.
