101st Prueba Villafranca – Ordiziako Klasika 2024 🇪🇸 (1.1) ME – Ordizia – Ordizia : 165,7 km
Prueba Villafranca de Ordizia – Clásica de Ordizia is a Spanish professional cycle road race held in Ordizia, Basque Country. The first edition was held in 1922. Since 2005, the race has been organized as a 1.1 event on the UCI Europe Tour.
Jan Christen (UAE Team Emirates) scored the third win of his neo-pro season with a 10km solo to triumph at the Basque one-day race, the Prueba Villafranca-Ordiziako Klasika.
The 20-year-old broke clear of the peloton late on in the hilly 166km race, holding a small gap to the chasing pack and surviving to the line after making his move on the Alto de Abaltzisketa.
Jefferson Cepeda (Caja Rural-Seguros RGA) gave a lone chase on the run-in. However, the Ecuadorian was brought back in the closing kilometres, setting a reduced bunch sprint for second place.
Vincenzo Albanese (Arkéa-B&B Hotels) and Pau Miquel (Kern Pharma) filled out the podium behind Christen, who forms part of a talented young core at UAE alongside Isaac del Toro, Igor Arrieta, Juan Ayuso, and António Morgado.
Christen’s win stands alongside his debut win at pro level, a stage of April’s Giro d’Abruzzo, and another solo win earlier this month at the Giro dell’Appennino.
