Alejandro Valverde has been retired from professional cycling for a couple of seasons, but that does not mean that he stops competing or that he has parked his bike. The man from Murcia achieved victory this Saturday in La Indomable, in Almería, in a gravel event, a discipline that mixes road sections with others on trails and tracks, and for the second consecutive year he took the title in the UCI Gravel Series event .
The test, which covers 96 kilometers with about 2,400 meters of elevation gain, was an exhibition by Valverde. About 35 kilometers from the finish line he escaped, with other favorites to win, but none of them could beat the Murcian cyclist. Valverde entered the finish line ahead of Hugo Drechou and Tiago Ferreira, who had to settle for second and third place.
