Herrada Bilbao Photo Finish Dispute

Jesús Herrada and Pello Bilbao finished the 2010 Subida a Gorla race so closely that no photo finish was needed to declare Herrada the winner.

The Subida a Gorla race in Vergara, Guipúzcoa, has historically produced professional cyclists. In 2010, the competition between Herrada and Bilbao was exceptionally tight, with both riders finishing in such close proximity that officials declared Herrada the winner without a photo finish.

Both 36-year-old cyclists, Herrada from Mota del Cuervo and Bilbao from Gernika-Lumo, had escaped from the rest of the field and engaged in a sprint finish that left spectators and officials uncertain of the exact outcome. betsport.cv
