Castellón della Plana delivered a great event yesterday as The Millars Granfondo returned with its strongest edition yet — a fully sold‑out field of 2000 riders, representing a truly international peloton taking on the scenic and demanding 157 km through the Sierra de Espadán.
In the men’s race, the victory was decided in a sprint of 6. Dutch Nick van der Lijke Zijlaard won in a tight sprint, renewing his win from last year.
