Felipe Orts cyclocross competition season

Overview

Spanish cyclocross rider Felipe Orts began his international season in Belgium, securing seventh place at the Kermiscross in Ardooie and ninth at the HG Cross in Meulebeke. These performances occur as Orts prepares for a transition to the Euskaltel-Euskadi team in 2027. Following his international races in Belgium and the Netherlands, Orts returned to the Spanish national circuit to compete in the Basque Country. He participated in a double event consisting of the Amurrio Ziklo-Krossa, which is the third round of the Spanish Cup, and the Orduña race, which marked the debut of the Ipar Kopa international C2 category tournament. Representing Euskaltel, Orts entered the Amurrio event as the primary favorite in the male elite-sub23 category. He ultimately secured a victory at the Copa de España in Amurrio, finishing with only Raul Mira within one minute of his time. This win follows other recent international results, including a third-place finish at the Nacht van Woerden and a sixth-place finish at the Superprestige-cross in Overijse. Orts continued his success in the Basque Country by winning the cyclocross event in Orduña, part of the Ipar Kopa series. Completing the race in 1:03:32, he maintained control throughout the competition. Gonzalo Inguanzo finished second, 22 seconds behind Orts, while Raúl Mira took third place, finishing 37 seconds behind the winner. Following these consecutive victories, Orts confirmed via social media his intention to compete in Middelkerke, Belgium, as part of the Superprestige series, prior to attending the European Cyclocross Championships. Orts is now set to compete in the European Cyclocross Championships in Zeddam, Netherlands. National coach Javier Ruiz de Larrinaga identified the 31-year-old, an eight-time Spanish national champion, as the team's “primary asset” following his victories in Amurrio and Orduña. Orts aims to secure a podium finish and replicate his 2024 silver medal performance.
