O Gran Camiño 2024 🇪🇸 – Stage 1 ITT – A Coruña – A Coruña : 14,8 km
The 3rd edition of the O Gran Camiño cycling competition is a staged cycling race that is held between February 22 and 25, 2024 in Spain with a start in the city of La Coruña and a final in the town of Tuy, over a total distance of 497.3 km. The race is part of the UCI Europe Tour 2024, cycling calendar of the UCI Continental Circuits, within category 2.1.
Josh Tarling (Ineos Grenadiers) sped to victory on the opening stage of the O Gran Camiño in A Coruña.
The stage did not count for the overall classification as organisers responded to concerns about high winds by neutralising the GC results and having riders complete the 14.8km course on normal road bikes.
Defending champion Jonas Vingegaard (Visma-Lease a Bike) did not contest the stage and finished a distant 45th at 2:26.
Of the riders who fought to win the stage, Darren Rafferty (EF Education-EasyPost) finished second at 42 seconds, while Pablo Castrillo (Kern Pharma) rounded out the top three.
The race for the overall gets underway on Friday with a 151.1km stage from Taboada to Chantada with a category 2 climb to the finish.
