Diego Gonzalo Caps Off Torres-Sobato’s Dream August with Victory

What begins well, ends well—and for the Torres-Sobato team, this August has been the perfect proof of that saying. Just two weeks after tasting victory at a national event, the Aragonese squad kept their winning momentum alive. This time, it was Diego Gonzalo who shined brightest, claiming victory at the Barbastro Social Festival Race and taking the overall lead in the Aragonese Critérium Cup.

Barbastro Triumph

The race in Barbastro kicked off at full speed, with relentless attacks from the peloton packed with riders across multiple categories. In the chaos, Gonzalo managed to slip into a select breakaway of four riders. His strength and consistency gradually wore down his companions, and in the final laps, he made his decisive move. Pushing the pace, Gonzalo not only distanced himself but also lapped the main group—securing a dominant solo win.

Double Duty in the Lehendakari Tournament

Alongside Gonzalo’s success in Barbastro, the Torres-Sobato team also faced a challenging double-header in the Lehendakari Tournament, racing in Zegama and Beasain.

• On Saturday in Zegama, Will Kirkham once again proved his strong form by making it into the day’s key breakaway and finishing in 21st place.

• Sunday in Beasain brought tougher luck, as a break on the descent left the Huesca squad chasing. Still, Alberto Domens fought hard to secure 25th after a determined pursuit.

A Strong August for Torres-Sobato

From national victories to consistent performances across Spain, August has been a dream month for the Torres-Sobato team. Gonzalo’s triumph in Barbastro marks the perfect conclusion to a period defined by resilience, teamwork, and a hunger for results.

With the Critérium Cup lead in their hands and continued visibility in the Lehendakari races, Torres-Sobato heads into the final part of the season brimming with confidence and ambition.
