...and it's that man Hernández again

Aitor Hernández completed another weekend of back-to-back wins by claiming Sunday's cyclo-cross race in Llanera, Asturias.

The Orbea rider thus took full advantage of perennial contenders Egoitz Murgoitio and Javier Ruiz de Larrinaga's absence to snatch his seventh triumph of the season - and we're barely halfway through November.

Erlantz Uriarte, third yesterday, went one better to claim second,  which is his top result of the year. Daniel Ania, fifth in Colindres, grabbed the last podium spot, BiciCiclismo reports.
