The Titan Series has arrived…and it is here to stay. This is a bunch of MTB stage races aimed to provide all participants the same super-intense and challenging experience they get when they take part in the Titan Series flagship race: the Garmin Titan Desert. Next April Morocco will host the 15th edition of the Titan Desert and, later on, Titan Series will move to La Paz-Mexico (November 13th-15th).

The first edition of the 2020 Titan Series Saudi Arabia has been gratefully surprising to everybody. The whole country of Saudi Arabia has thrown itself into the event. Full co-operation with the race organizers has been key to success. Scenery in all stages has been superb and a tougher-than-expected terrain has put all 150 participating riders to the test. They all have been privileged riders by having the chance to experience the first run of this great adventure.

Race victory was almost in his hands and the only thing Josep Betalú had to do today was grabbing it. And, as one of the riders named favourite to win this race prior to the start, he did.

Victory in the first stage went to former professional road-race cyclist Spaniard Oscar Pujol. That was his first of two stage wins, but the race leader’s name was to change at the end of stage two. Spaniard Julen Zubero won that stage, took the race lead and clinched the green jersey, reserved to the top rider in the overall standings. Zubero and Betalú battled fiercely in stage 3 but mechanical problems on Zubero’s bike forced him to give the green jersey up to Betalú.

Josep Betalú, the KH7-backed rider, led the overall by over three minutes at the start of the last stage of the race. The only thing Betalú had to do was riding the stage while keeping a close eye on Zubero. And so he did. Both riders, with the company of Jose Luis Gomez, reached the finish line together, as Gomez sprinted to clinch the stage win.

Silvia Roura: the story of an undisputed domination

Four stages and four wins to summarize Spaniard Silvia Roura’s performance in the 2020 Titan Series Saudi Arabia. Despite having to ride alone for the most part of the race, By setting wide time gaps day after day on the finish line, she built up a comfortable race lead.

Roura’s performance was even better today. With no pressure at all and the overall win in the pocket, she was 10th today, her best scratch result in the race. She crossed the finish line less than 20 minutes behind the stage winner, Jose Luis Gomez.

Second place both in the stage today and in the overall goes to Marta Ballús from Andorra, while Monica Minguet is third.
