The Club Ciclista Bellreguard in Valencia hosted its final school category regularity tournament, concluding a seven-month competitive season and commemorating the club’s centenary.

Organizers reported a significant decline in youth participation. While the event featured 114 young cyclists, this figure represents a substantial drop from previous years when approximately 250 children participated. Local cycling sectors have expressed concern, citing a migration of youth toward other sporting disciplines and calling for structural initiatives to support young athletes.
