Tras el éxito de David Valero, la delegación española soñaba con Rocío del Alba repitiera la gesta este lunes en la prueba femenina. La 'biker' madrileña, igual que el andaluz de bronce, es pupila de un Carlos Coloma que tenía puestas muchas esperanzas en la ciclista.
The same as Baza, who after conquering his medal said that he had "put the cake but that Rocío was with the icing".He was not a favorite, much less, but the illusion was in the clouds at least to dream of the diploma.In front there were people with a lot of level like Neff, Rissveds, Coutnet or McConell.
The Spanish, who suffered as the rest for the rain that brought the typhoon Nepartak to the circuit, had a problem with the shoe that conditioned him for much of the day.Rocío could not overcome positions in a technical circuit that was generating fatigue among the participants as the turns were going on.As usual, the last two were key.
At that time, the Swiss were already offering a real exhibition.Jolanda Neff proclaimed himself champion and was accompanied on the podium by Sina Frei and Linda Indergand.The Swiss gave an exhibition against French and Dutch, who were the main favorites, getting the ideal photo with the Helvetic triplet.Lecomte, who was undefeated this year in the World Cup, could only be sixth, 2:57 of Neff, and the title defender, the Swedish Jenny Rissveds, decimocuarta at 5:42.
Looking at the future
It was a very meritorious triumph of Neff, which less than two years ago suffered a hard accident that almost moved him away from sport forever.Rocío was 26 'with a time of 1:26:32.It was his first participation in games and, despite the result, the Madrid is called to give great joys in the future.You will have another opportunity in Paris or in any of the next games.By youth and quality there will be no.
