Mireia Benito (AG Insurance-Soudal) secured her third straight Spanish National Time Trial Champion's title despite facing a radically different course to other years, a 14 kilometre uphill TT with 727 metres of vertical climbing.
The time trial was run in extreme heat on the slopes of Sierra Nevada in southern Spain, with temperatures reaching the mid-30s in the afternoon, and with the last four kilometres more than 2,000 metres above sea level.
