Igor Arrieta won his first professional race Friday at Prueba Villafranca-Ordiziako Klasika, joining UAE Team Emirates teammate Isaac del Toro on a vicious late attack as the duo accelerated away from the lead pack by 16 seconds for the one-two finish.
UAE Team Emirates swept the final podium as António Morgado outsprinted Diego Ulissi (XDS Astana) at the line in Ordizia.
“It’s the first win of my career, and to do it here so close to my home is something indescribable," the young Spaniard said in a team statement.
“This win would not have been possible without my teammates, who were amazing today, so a big thanks to them. To have Isaac and Antonio here with me on the podium makes it extra special.”
