Herrada and Bilbao finish together in 2010

The annual Subida a Gorla race in Vergara (Guipúzcoa) has historically produced professional cyclists like Contador, Sastre, Landa, Castrillo, and Samitier. In 2010, Jesús Herrada and Pello Bilbao, both 36 years old, escaped from the competition and battled it out in a sprint finish. trojkonferencja2024.pl

Without a photo finish system to record the exact moment of crossing the line, the race was resolved by visual judgment. Herrada was declared the winner, though there remains uncertainty about who actually crossed first as they arrived simultaneously.
