Baja Aragon 2021: Barreda’s fifth victory in Baja Espana Aragon

Spain’s Joan Barreda scored his fifth victory in the bike category of Baja Espana Aragon today afternoon. The Honda rider was the fastest in all special stages and won with a gap of 4’43” ahead of Tosha Schareina in the overall classification, which is a significant difference, especially in the light of Barreda’s problems in the last special.

“I had to put my leg hard on the ground and I bent my knee. I felt a crack and I had to keep a little calm to reach the finish line,” said Barreda.

In the 112-km-long last special stage, Tosha Schareina managed to recover the 11-second gap he had to Lorenzo Santolino and closed his participation in the Baja Espana Aragon on the second step of the podium, while the Sherco rider finished third in the final overall standings.

In the Open Baja Aragon for bikes, Javier Vega won by 3’12” ahead of Albert Martin, with KTM rider Brian Gomez finishing third. In the women’s classification, Sara Garcia won the bike category.

In the quad category, Alexandre Giroud took the win with 17’19” ahead of Spain’s Toni Vingut. In the Open Baja Aragon quad race, victory went to Jose Vicente Martinez.
