The race has a new method for us (8 checkpoints and all required).
We were began at Mapfre. The organizers give to us the final line direction and 2 checkpoints. That 2 checkpoints were required, but we can choose the order. On every checkpoint, we will know another chekpoint. So every time every rider got 2 checkpoints to choose, but both required.
The directions were really good and difficult, and knowing every time the 2 active directions to go was hard!
Our route was (green is the choosen one):
Torres Mapfre
Tortellá 14 - Tunel Foixarda
Skatepark Les Corts ("elefante") - Tunel Foixarda
Skatepark Les Corts ("elefante") - Plaça Doctor Andreu (funicular tibidabo)
Carrer Grunyí (pinzat) - Plaça Doctor Andreu (funicular tibidabo)
Carrer Grunyí (pinzat) - Satans Coffee Corner
Carrer Grunyí (pinzat)
Finish Line: Plaça del Nord (Gràcia)
Going down from the Tibidavo, I destroy my tire and I get a flat. But I just #AINTCARE! I went ahead with the flat and destroyed tire to the next 2 checkpoints and the finish line (more than 10 km!). And I arrive like this!

Finally I got the 3rd place, on that crazy downhill and riding on that destroyed tire. Was an awesome race, riding with my friends Ignacio and Arnau!
