Or face the always dreaded navigation sections. Or find out how he&#8217;ll handle the bike in the desert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some of these issues have not yet been solved. There has been no pure desert and navigation, for the moment, has been very situational. But that is no excuse for not valuing the merit of a rookie who has been able to come out of the first two stages as leader. Although, of course, everything changes if that rookie is\u00a0<strong>Luis Le\u00f3n S\u00e1nchez<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yesterday, the rider from Murcia paid for the hazing by losing precious time in a shortcut that the veteran riders were able to take advantage of. But he came back with effort and that\u00a0<strong>superb class\u00a0<\/strong>on the bike that he has. Today, the class was enough to win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the day started off shaky. Mechanical problems at the start made him fall behind the other riders. He relied on the team and, among superclassmen such as\u00a0<strong>Miguel Indur\u00e1in or \u00d3scar Pereiro<\/strong>, they brought &#8216;Luisle&#8217; back to the top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From there to the finish line, pure leg-breaking terrain in the beautiful\u00a0<strong>Saghro Mountains<\/strong>. An unforgettable stage that came in a tight sprint in which the Kosner Saltoki &#8211; Home rider won.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Luisle&#8217; is the leader with the same time as\u00a0<strong>Sergio Mantec\u00f3n<\/strong>, whose usual navigation maneuvers sometimes went well and sometimes badly.\u00a0<strong>Josep Betal\u00fa<\/strong>, has been relegated to third place due to mechanical problems and the hardness of the climbs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/skodatitandesertmorocco.titanworldseries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/DSC07687-2-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8438\" srcset=\"https:\/\/skodatitandesertmorocco.titanworldseries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/DSC07687-2-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/skodatitandesertmorocco.titanworldseries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/DSC07687-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/skodatitandesertmorocco.titanworldseries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/DSC07687-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/skodatitandesertmorocco.titanworldseries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/DSC07687-2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/skodatitandesertmorocco.titanworldseries.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/DSC07687-2.jpg 2000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the men&#8217;s classification is a fight in which every hundredth counts, the women&#8217;s classification is being swept by the hurricane Tessa Kortekaas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>La neerlandesa hace buenos los pron\u00f3sticos que la colocaban como gran favorita a la general. Aventaja ya en\u00a0<strong>m\u00e1s de 30 minutos a Pilar Fern\u00e1ndez<\/strong>, su inmediata perseguidora.

She is already more than 30 minutes ahead of Pilar Fernandez, her immediate pursuer. And the \u0160koda Titan Desert Morocco has not yet reached the stages in which Kortekaas is presumably stronger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, on a new mountain day, the Cannondale ISB Sport rider was worried about the cold and the condition of her legs after yesterday&#8217;s effort. Gradually she warmed up and her legs certainly didn&#8217;t show any fatigue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rider, expert in flat terrain efforts and eager to get to the desert, comes out in the lead after two days of pure mountain. It remains to be seen what she will do when the terrain is, in theory, more favorable.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are the biggest challenges for a newcomer to the \u0160koda Titan Desert Morocco?\u00a0Perhaps knowing how the body will react to living in the camp.
