Irish U23 international Kevin McCambridge has taken another victory in Spain, this time in a mountain TT. His win against the clock yesterday comes a week after he won a road race in Andalucía.
McCambridge was best of the 100 starters in I Cronoescalada a la Ermita de San Isidro, a 14km TT in Adra, located in the Almería province of southern Spain. The 14km test was mostly uphill with McCambridge’s winning time of 31:43 some 59 seconds faster than his nearest rival.
The course consisted of an initial flat section before the road kicked up for 8.8km, at a gradient of 6.7 per cent. That climb was followed by a section of descending but a shorter climbing section to the finish line.
Last weekend McCambridge, a 20-year-old who rode Tour de l’Avenir on the Irish U23 team last season, won the Grand Prix Comarca de Polopos road race in Andalucía.
