Bermeo surprises in Bilbao and Arraun Lagunak remains unstoppable
Arraun Lagunak and Bermeo-Urdaibai have dominated the Bilbao Flag, which has also competed against the clock this Saturday. Lugañene has shown its usual dominance in the Euskoten League, also bagging its second flag of the season. The Bou Bizkaia, on the other hand, has taken the surprise by taking the regatta that it has commanded from the first length, achieving its first victory of the season.
In the men's regatta, Lekeitio has struggled more than expected to win in the first round, taking only 35 hundredths out of Chapela. Ares has also stayed only a second away, and Santurtzi has not been able to make it, reaching 10 seconds later.
Getaria and Ondarroa took the lead in the second round, butfor the last ciaboga, the Esperantza boat gained a 4-second lead, and with that margin they crossed the finish line in the first place, marking 20:24 minutes, while Hondarribia and San Juan ran out of options.
The batch of honor has been uneven as the tidehas been rising and the current has been falling, so Bermeo has started the regatta brilliantly, getting the best time in the first ciaboga. Zierbena and Orio have been the closest to him, and the San Nikolas boat for the second ciaboga has narrowed the difference to a single second. In the last lengths Bermeo has been superior (19:55 minutes) and has won a great victory, taking the first flag of the season.
Euskotren League
In the women's regatta, Donostiarra, Zumaia, Hibaika and Tolosaldea have been the first to enter the water. The Donostiarras have premiered the regatta, but they have marked the worst time of the batch in the ciaboga, with Zumaia and Hibaika leading the way. But in the length of the return, Hibaika has scored one more march and got the best time with 10:55 minutes.
The second batch was no surprise. Arraun Lagunak and Orio were the only ones able to beat Hibaika's time in the ciaboga, butLugañene showed his usual superiority and took the flag for the sixth consecutive year with a time of 10:49 minutes. Tolosaldea was second to 6 seconds and Hibaika third to 10.
