La Gregarios: ultradistance Madrid-Valencia

The Gregarios is an ultra-distance race inspired by the historic Cifesa Grand Prix, a long-distance road race, originally one of the longest in Spain, which started in Madrid and finished in Valencia. Reserved for a few elite cyclists, it served to increase their sporting prestige, due to the strong physical demand it required.
