Urdaibai wins in Hondarribia and increases its advantage over Zierbena, which was fourth
Urdaibai has increased the gap between them and Zierbena to 13 pointsthe second-placed boat in the Eusko Label League, thanks to the victory achieved this Saturday in the Bandera de Hondarribia. The Biscayan trainer has won with authority in a regatta in which Donostiarra has been the protagonist of the anecdote of the day by losing its bowman in the first tack.
Those patronized by Gorka Aranberri have rowed in the lead for practically the entire race, Except for a moment in the second length, just after leaving the first tack, in which the local trainer, Hondarribia, took the lead with a two-second advantage over the Bermeo team. With Donostiarra rowing with 12 rowers after its bow fell into the water and Zierbena out of action almost from the first metres, the Ama Guadalupekoa from Hondarribia was the only one to cause concern for the leaders of the Eusko Label League.
The trainera trained by Iker Zabala has set the best times in the three turningsalways improving the records of Orio, winner of the second round after a nice duel with Ondarroa, which he beat by just five thousandths.
At the exit of the third turn the Bizkaia trainera has doubled the advantage that separated him from Hondarribia from 4 to 8 seconds, an advantage that was impossible to overcome for Joseba Amunarriz’s team, who, after their victory last Sunday, have put in a great performance, but without the prize of the flag.
Zierbena 13 points ahead
Urdaibai has imposed himself with authority, with an 8 second advantage over the local trainera, 17 over Donostiarra, which has completed a more than remarkable regatta with 12 rowers, and half a minute over Zierbena, second in the league, and fourth today, which it now has a 13-point advantage over.
