2011's Spanish national championships was a pretty tame affair with i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/bianchi.png Koldo Gil taking a surprise victory. Today's race looks wide open again with i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/santander.png Santander looking to stamp their undoubted authority over the nationals.

Of course it seems like every other team are here to stop them but the team in red and white keep it tight in the opening 50km before allowing a group of 15 up the road.

and
i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/pirelli.png Egoitz Murgoitio
get up the road.

The race is centred around a 7km pretty fierce climb that may just tip things in the favour of the pure climbers. Indeed it is tough enough so that Santander's gentle increase in pressure is able to snuff out the slender lead these 15 had got.

With this breakaway over a strong climber i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/csc.png Igor Antón goes clear.

i187.photobucket.com/albums/x62/Smowz/Nationals/2-Antonattacks.jpg

Given the chance to lead this year, it has been a step in the right direction for the Basque man. On the subsequent flat section Anton is joined by five other riders.

i187.photobucket.com/albums/x62/Smowz/Nationals/3-Bysecondclimbfiveridersjoin.jpg

Bianchi have craftely got both i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/bianchi.png David De la Fuente and i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/bianchi.png Koldo Gil up with Anton. Also present however is Spanish stage racers i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/vesuvio.png Beñat Intxausti and i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/ubs.png José Angel Gomez Marchante along with veteren i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/hollister.png José Ivan Gutiérrez Palacios.

Just behind these six are are duo from Cafe de Colombia i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/colombia.png Jesus Tendero and i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/colombia.png Francisco Perez Sanchez. However the climb hurts these two's chances of catching the front six.

The gap between the leaders and the Santander led pack is six minutes, this is putting the lead Spanish team under pressure.

i187.photobucket.com/albums/x62/Smowz/Nationals/4-Santaunderpressure.jpg

The key section is the flat section between the penultimate and final climb. It is a real battle between Santander and the leaders, Santander have everyone on hand to try and snake their way up to the leaders.

i187.photobucket.com/albums/x62/Smowz/Nationals/5-Thesnakecoilsallovertheroad.jpg

Alas with 25km to go the leaders have 4 minutes, it is hard to see that the climb is tough enough to bring back. Besides these are some of the best climbers in the world up front. Memories of brilliant Vuelta moments for both Intxausti and Gomez Marchante come flooding back.

i187.photobucket.com/albums/x62/Smowz/Nationals/6-Theleadsixpreparefortheclimb.jpg

Behind i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/bianchi.png Juan José Cobo looks to break the rhythm of the chase by attacking.

i187.photobucket.com/albums/x62/Smowz/Nationals/7-CobodartsouttobridgetofallenCDC.jpg

But by the time we get onto the climb i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/santander.png Angel Madrazo spreads his wings and takes matters into his own hands.

i187.photobucket.com/albums/x62/Smowz/Nationals/8-Madrazohasnochoicebuttogoashardashecan.jpg

He reduced the gap down to under three minutes, but up front the wise riders also are able to up the pace riding themselves of Guitterez Palacios.

i187.photobucket.com/albums/x62/Smowz/Nationals/9-groupisdownto5.jpg

In another Vuelta flashback we see i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/festina.png Alberto Contador trying to chase down Madrazo. You can tell the course is not super hard as Cobo, i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/calgiant.png Samuel Sánchez Gonzalez and i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/redbull.png Daniel Moreno follow him.

i187.photobucket.com/albums/x62/Smowz/Nationals/10-ContaSanchezCoboandMoreno.jpg

Anton doesn't fancy this ending in a sprint and despite the increased pressure is able to accelerate again away from this lead group.

i187.photobucket.com/albums/x62/Smowz/Nationals/11-Antongoesagainsneartop.jpg

He holds 25 seconds over the top and descends like a mad man.

i187.photobucket.com/albums/x62/Smowz/Nationals/12-Excitingchasedownhill.jpg

Things flatten out with 5km to go and his lead is nudging 30 seconds, the fans now know they are denied a Santander win but they now root for Spanish second squad CSC.

i187.photobucket.com/albums/x62/Smowz/Nationals/13-Fivetogo.jpg

Bianchi's De Le Fuente sacrifices himself for Gil and leads out the sprint behind having kepts Anton in view.

i187.photobucket.com/albums/x62/Smowz/Nationals/14-DeLeFuenteleadsout.jpg

Anton tries to hold with 1500m left he still has a few bike lengths.

i187.photobucket.com/albums/x62/Smowz/Nationals/15-Antontriestohold.jpg

But by the kite the four riders are on him, still a big question mark over who will win.

i187.photobucket.com/albums/x62/Smowz/Nationals/16-Theironhim.jpg

Anton is fading and Gomez Marchante, Intxausti and Gil are closing up on De La Fuente.

i187.photobucket.com/albums/x62/Smowz/Nationals/17-Eyesareontheprize.jpg

Gil is coming through as his teammate roars him on, but Gomez Marchante is battling.

i187.photobucket.com/albums/x62/Smowz/Nationals/18-GilandGomezM.jpg

Intxausti has nothing extra but there is nothing between the two at the front.

i187.photobucket.com/albums/x62/Smowz/Nationals/19-Thetwogoforit.jpg

Gil just edges it, taking the Spanish title once more at the age of 34.

After losing their Team Time Trial world championships, the Spanish will be watching the time trial with interest.

Madrazo has excellent time trial skills for such a small climber and Santander send him off early.

i187.photobucket.com/albums/x62/Smowz/Nationals/21-Madrazogoesearly.jpg

His times of:
23.5647.3964.23

through the checks look unbeatable. Indeed it sees of the likes of Intxausti, the Sanchez's and defending champion Abal.

But i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/jackwolfskin.png Rubén Plaza is up to the task taking the fastest first check with 23.51.

i187.photobucket.com/albums/x62/Smowz/Nationals/22-Plazabattlestoughcourse.jpg

That is until i1215.photobucket.com/albums/cc512/ANFreeman/Jersey%20Sprites/santander.png Justo Tenorio better's Plaza's time by one second.

i187.photobucket.com/albums/x62/Smowz/Nationals/23-Tenoriorideslast.jpg

With Madrazo off so early conditions could swing the times one way or the other. But Plaza maintains his superiorty over Madrazo through the second check and the finish setting a time 12 seconds faster than the Vuelta 2012 champion.

But Madraza can cheer on his great friend and teammate Tenorio here, the young deluxe domestique loves a chrono. However he has to work hard to finish four seconds inside of Plaza.

i187.photobucket.com/albums/x62/Smowz/Nationals/24-Hejustholds.jpg

Tenorio takes his national time trial title.
