Women Cycling Pro Costa De Almería 2024 🇪🇸 WE – Campohermoso – Mojácar : 121 km
Over a route placed further south from last year’s, the third edition of Women Cycling Pro Costa de Almería will mark the second stop of the 2024 season, after the brandnew Challenge Mallorca. The 121km course will be quite a demanding one, with a usual start -Campohermoso (Níjar)- yet a new finish, in Mojácar Pueblo, over a final 1.5km at 7% and double-digit slopes near the end. To reach there, two non-rated ascents will be tackled before three categorized climbs: Mirador de la Amatista (Cat-3), Las Hortichuelas (Cat-2; central section with 1.5km at 8%) and Mirador de la Granadilla (Cat-2; 2.2km at 6%), strategically placed with 30km to go.
Olivia Baril took her first victory for new team Movistar at the Women Cycling Pro Costa De Almería ahead of Ane Santesteban (Laboral Kutxa-Fundación Euskadi) and Karolina Perekitko (Winspace).
The Canadian was the strongest on the uphill finale into Mojácar and after only three days racing with Movistar, already has a victory to add to her palmarès. Baril joined in the summer initially on a one-year deal but extended in the winter and is set to ride for the Spanish side until 2026.
In only the second edition of the Spanish one-day race, a completely different route was designed with an uphill finale instead of the flatter finish won last season by Arianna Fidanza (CERATIZIT-WNT).
The riders arrived in ones and twos up the steep final 1.5km climb at an average gradient of 8%, with Baril the strongest.
