Ostiz, who had already been crowned champion of the event in 2024, once again demonstrated her dominance. The Navarrese woman completed a superb performance over the 12 kilometers of the route to the finish line. Étoile-sur-Rhône, stopping the clock and surpassing his rivals by a narrow margin, but enough to secure first place.
The Spanish cyclist finished just two seconds ahead of Germany's Leis, who took silver, and 10 seconds ahead of Norway's Gissinger, who took bronze. One of Ostiz's most significant triumphs was beating world champion Megan Arens of the Netherlands, who finished in fourth place, 13 seconds behind the Spaniard.
A Sensational Campaign Start
The national team's performance replicates the sensational level shown at the recent World Championships in Kigali. After crossing the finish line and collecting the medal, Ostiz expressed his satisfaction.
"I thought I might have trouble recovering from the trip, but I've had a really good feeling, it felt very easy. Now all that's left is to celebrate with my family and the team and think about Friday, which I'm sure we'll do very well," declared the champion, visibly emotional and wearing the continental jersey.
The good Spanish performance was extended with the performances of Alejandra Neira and Irati Aranguren, the other two representatives in the junior time trial, who performed at a high level by finishing in 11th and 15th place respectively, consolidating a solid start for the national team.
