of Spain Cup road race reaches final stretch with the last two races, the Classic Santa Cruz, May 1, and the Memorial Iguanzo-a week later, and with two men tied, Jesus Ezquerra (Cuervo Soplao) and Fran Moreno (Caja Rural), followed closely by Eduard Prades (Tarragona-mopes Ajuntament), 24 points. And although the regularity which has climbed to the top positions, leadership is the result of an agonizing sprint between the Cantabrian and Moreno in Torredonjimeno. "I was aware of Prades to see if I was going to attack
and go with him. But Moreno has a team, the Caja Rural, frightening and controlling everything. Therefore, arrive together at goal and the sprint was very difficult but I finally got to go back and I dressed as a leader. Now how hard is to keep it. "
Ezquerra believes that "in normal circumstances, the Cup should be between us two, with a chance to Prades. But there are still 120 points up for grabs and if there is a break with many runners and leaves you no points, may still be some surprise. " Moreno believes that "besides having a great team, a runner who is in a great time, though mountain passes and has a good top speed, while Prades value" experience, since last year was very close to winning the Cup. "
As for his own strengths, the Spaniard says, "has already proved I can be with them and the two remaining races I think that should happen the same. But in cycling there are many other factors, like luck, falls, failures ... In all However, what is best for the team is focused with me, we're doing specific training for a day and try my best to get to Sunday. " Yes, regrets the break that had the Cup in Spain two weeks, "because in Jaén was very good and normally you should keep the form of a week to week, but remains two without running ... In my case, I have not played any evidence or I will run again this weekend. "
Although the two races are very similar in their geography, have a different meaning at least a priori. "I ran Legazpi last year but could not finish. But there are ten ports three or four miles, which is a type of climb that I adapt well. As the Iguanzo, is the terrain that we usually train, but the tour this year is even harder the end. " Needless to say, you would like to reach that ultimate test of a leader, "but what really matters is yellow finish on the velodrome Oscar Freire-final of this year's edition of the Cantabrian test. It would be nice, but above all a way of thanking the team what you do for us, especially after a year as 2010 in which we are not out anything right. "
Finally, Ezquerra not think about what will happen after the Cup "We have to change the training to adapt to the stage races, which will not be immediate. In my case there are two full turns Palencia Madrid and I can go right. " And as for the selection recognizes that "José Luis De Santos has not called me ever, but I hope to look good to count with me, because I would rather illusion. But is he who decides. "
