This man just can't stop winning
















Aitor Hernández did as he pleased in Ispaster on Sunday, cruising to his 20th win of the campaign.

The closing race of the Basque season was as expected a stroll in the park for the Orbea rider, with nearest challenger Jonathan Lastra finishing almost a minute and a half in arrears. Belgian Vinnie Braet was, according to the Basque Cycling Federation's website, the only one who could stay with Hernández for a while, but dropped off eventually and had to settle for third.

Javier Ruiz de Larrinaga, who'll accompany the former road rider and Jonathan Lastra to the US next week, could only muster fourth place.

  1. Aitor Hernández (Ermua-Orbea), 1:04:01
