Roglič Wins Andorra Cycling Masters as Del Toro Caps Breakout Season

The purpose-built exhibition, filmed by Wakai for release before year‑end, underscored Andorra’s promotional push.

Overview

  • Tadej Pogačar, Jonas Vingegaard, Primož Roglič and Isaac del Toro competed individually on October 19 in Andorra la Vella/Escaldes-Engordany across two tests: an 8.23 km uphill time trial to Coll de la Gallina and a 32.1 km, 15-lap urban circuit.
  • Roglič claimed the overall with 55 points, ahead of Del Toro on 51, Pogačar on 42 and Vingegaard on 36.
  • Del Toro won the urban circuit sprint in a finish reported as nearly photo‑finish and closed the year with 16 victories after placing third in the morning climb.
  • The non‑UCI exhibition was built for a docushow, with production by Wakai, backing from IPG and Andorra Turisme, and logistical support from La Vuelta under sporting director Fernando Escartín, with reports noting a high budget and substantial appearance fees.
  • Organizers drew large crowds that halted the commercial center, and the 50‑minute docushow is in post‑production with a release planned before year‑end, reported as late November.
