A strong pro athlete field has been confirmed for Anfi Challenge Mogán-Gran Canaria, which takes place on April 22, in the Canary Islands, Spain.
Kicking off Challenge Family’s European season, pro athletes signed up for the event include: Patrick Lange, Sam Laidlow, Florian Angert, Aaron Royle, Pablo Dapena Gonzalez, Youri Keulen, Evert Scheltinga, Jan Stratmann, Ruben Zepuntke, Andreas Dreitz, Ruth Astle, Svenja Thoes, Diede Diederiks, India Lee, Alexandra Tondeur, Elisabetta Curridori, Kate Curran, Charlene Clavel, Margie Santimaria, Camille Deligny, and Lina-Kristin Schink.
The organising team notes that, in the men’s field, most eyes will be on Sam Laidlow. The young Frenchman is considered one of the most popular athletes on the pro racing circuit. He returns to Anfi Challenge Mogán-Gran Canaria for some unfinished business. Two years ago, he crashed during the bike and will be aiming to reverse that disappointment with a victory.
In the women’s race, British athlete Ruth Astle is seen as a favourite, lining up against the likes of Diede Diederiks, Alexandra Tondeur, Svenja Thoes, India Lee and Elisabetta Curridori.
Anfi Challenge Mogán-Gran Canaria takes place on Saturday, April 22, with the pro start at 08:00 CET. A live stream (in Spanish and English) will be available online at www.challenge-family.live plus live timing and results.
