After a spectacular\u00a0 route of 83 km, 2,200 metres of positive vertical drop and 3 and a half hours, Mantec\u00f3n once\u00a0 again won the Spanish XCM Champion&#8217;s jersey.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The best riders on the national scene gathered yesterday in Jerez de los Caballeros to compete\u00a0 in the Spanish XCM Championship, with the SCOTT CALA BANDIDA team represented by Sergio\u00a0 Mantec\u00f3n, Jose Mar\u00eda S\u00e1nchez, Francesc Guerra and Miquel Fa\u00fas.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A race that has been brought forward a few months to be held within the Templarios Marathon\u00a0 and that was very close from the beginning. A large group of riders rode together for a large part\u00a0 of the race, including Mantec\u00f3n, Jose Mar\u00eda S\u00e1nchez and Francesc Guerra, but with five\u00a0 kilometres to go, a brilliant attack by Sergio won the race and retained the title.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;I am very happy to have been able to retain the\u00a0 <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">title. For me, and for the team, it was one of the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">objectives of the year and we have achieved it. This <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">is thanks to the work behind the scenes, we have <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">been working hard all week to reconnoitre the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">terrain. It wasn&#8217;t an easy race, we had a tough week <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">because I had a bad cold, but we came out very <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">motivated and we went for it. Each rider played his <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">cards and luckily I was able to finish it off and win <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">the title&#8221; &#8211; <\/span><b>Sergio Mantec\u00f3n.<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">For their part, Jose Mar\u00eda S\u00e1nchez and Francesc Guerra made it into the top 10. The Spaniard\u00a0 fought until the end and managed to finish in sixth position. Guerrilla closed the top 10 and\u00a0 Miquel, in his first championship with the team, managed to finish in 15th position. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-56586 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/isbsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/348668429_643700164319751_6154778519843979747_n-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Mantecon ISB Sport\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/isbsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/348668429_643700164319751_6154778519843979747_n-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/isbsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/348668429_643700164319751_6154778519843979747_n-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/isbsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/348668429_643700164319751_6154778519843979747_n-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/isbsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/348668429_643700164319751_6154778519843979747_n-700x467.jpg 700w, https:\/\/isbsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/348668429_643700164319751_6154778519843979747_n-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/isbsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/348668429_643700164319751_6154778519843979747_n.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sergio has done it again!
