Herrada and Bilbao Tie in Amateur Race

The 'subida a Gorla' race in Vergara is legendary for producing professional cyclists like Contador, Sastre, and Landa. In 2010, the most competitive edition saw Jesús Herrada and Pello Bilbao escape from all competitors and finish so closely that organizers couldn't determine who actually won the race. raccoongame.org

Without a photo finish system, Herrada was declared the winner, but the article suggests they may have truly tied. The race, known for its festive atmosphere and challenging climb, continues to be a stepping stone for aspiring cyclists to professional careers.
