The 2026 European road cycling season kicked off on Friday with victory in a three-way sprint for Christian Scaroni (XDS-Astana) in the rugged Classica Camp de Morvedre race in eastern Spain. Second in the 163.4 kilometre race was up-and-coming climber Diego Pescador (Movistar), with Antonio Tiberi (Bahrain-Victorious) in third.
In a race largely decided by multiple ascents of the category 1 Alto del Garbí, a searing acceleration by XDS-Astana on the lower slopes on the last time up the climb launched the trio three kilometres before the top.
