With a field of riders from over 30 countries and qualifying points for the World Cup, the race was highly competitive.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the stats taken from Jos\u00e9 Mari S\u00e1nchez\u2019s bike computer at the end of the race:<\/p>\n<p>38.1 km\/h average speed, a normalized power of 335w, an average heart rate of 164 bpm, and a race time of 3h13\u2019 covering a distance of 123 km.<\/p>\n<p>These are extraordinary numbers that reflect the effort, sacrifice, and talent of both riders, as well as the demanding nature of the race to reach the top.<\/p>\n<p>Both Jos\u00e9 Mari and Morcillo had to fight for their positions in a final sprint with a rival. In Jos\u00e9 Mari\u2019s case, he managed to escape in the final kilometers but was eventually caught, and in the last few meters, his sprint didn\u2019t go as planned, leaving him in second place. Meanwhile, for Enrique, the final sprint worked in his favor, as he found extra strength at the last moment to secure a well-deserved bronze.<\/p>\n<p>What a debut! We can\u2019t wait to see what this season has in store for the Scott Cala Bandida riders.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-62427 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/isbsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/scott-cala-bandida-2025-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"scott-cala-bandida-2025 ISB SPORT\" width=\"265\" height=\"265\" srcset=\"https:\/\/isbsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/scott-cala-bandida-2025-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/isbsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/scott-cala-bandida-2025-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/isbsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/scott-cala-bandida-2025-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/isbsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/scott-cala-bandida-2025-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/isbsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/scott-cala-bandida-2025-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/isbsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/scott-cala-bandida-2025-570x570.jpg 570w, https:\/\/isbsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/scott-cala-bandida-2025-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/isbsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/scott-cala-bandida-2025-1000x1000.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/isbsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/scott-cala-bandida-2025-700x700.jpg 700w, https:\/\/isbsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/scott-cala-bandida-2025-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/isbsport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/scott-cala-bandida-2025.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 265px) 100vw, 265px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A strong debut with second and third place in the first UCI World Gravel Series race.
