It is a thriving cycling discipline, with a competitive fabric that is growing and, above all, with a growing community of regular riders who find in its particularities a sea of sensations. There are already Spanish Cups, World Cups, World Championships, National Championships, International Series of enormous prestige, exclusive races and even specific journalistic publications that follow the evolutions of an industry that has also turned to this niche.

His assessment: “Last year I had a little thorn in my side about getting close to the podium, so I was well in front at the start. But I soon realised that it wasn’t my place, given the increase in level and participation. In my category there were almost thirty runners… In spite of that, I had a very good feeling, a better time than last year and a tenth place in the end after having a lot of fun”.
