The sunset in the Bardenas Reales!

Both groups of riders will share the first checkpoint in Pamplona at km 100.

He did it! Well done Joost!

Huge congratulations to Joost who finished the inaugural Iberica Traversa road route yesterday afternoon.

On day 3 he had an injury on his ankle but it didn’t stop him from climbing Pico del Veleta. He took a day off in Granada and despite all that happened, he managed to finish in an impressive time!

That was also his very first ultra!

Well done!
