Did you start to realise that a bike is something more than a way of transport?
I think since I was born, cycling was and is a way of transport for me. Also, since early ages I have needed the
adrenaline discharge when you compete on this sport.
Do you remember your first fall?
It is a tricky one as I got my way of riding based on time of practicing and therefore lots and lots of falls.
Probably one of my earliest important falls that I remember was at home after my parent s gave me a bike as a present,
which was very big for me. I was quite sad about this and I mounted in it from the pavement curb-which worked, the trouble
was at the braking moment, when I fall over and Iost two teeth. This didn’t stop me to get back into the bike but with less teeth. Hahaha
Do you use other bike modality but fixed?
Yes, cycling is my life and I can’t just get specialized in one modality.Riding fixed has been the latest modality I have got in,
but I like it very much, it allows you to meet new people, ride in different countries, and therefore this word is being one of my favorite ones.
Brakes or brakeless?
Like all, it depends, I use brakes when I am riding more relaxed with friends and when I play polo (rear brake), however when I am riding hard
I need all the control on my legs and this is only achievable in fixed and without brakes.
Criteriums or alleycats?
Now that I have tried both modalities, I prefer the criteriums as you ride in a closed to traffic circuit, making them safer that alleycats.
This doesn’t mean I do not ride alleycats, yes I do and they are a good fun.
Following the fail of the controversial end of the world prophecy on the 21st of December, What are your plans for the
upcoming 2013 season?
Firstly keep training hard, a s there are quite a lot of people who support and trusts me on what I do, wanting me to keep improving- This keeps
me highly motivated.
In the fixed modality, I would like to continue my relationship with the Polo&Bike team. I don’t know them since long but I really like the
way the work. I will work hard to keeping myself close to this young brand, which I feel quite identified with.
And last but not least try to persuade my “girl”to move into the fixed world, she is also a rider and competing in other modalities is harder,
but fixed modality allows you to ride and compete enjoying and without such a big sacrifice

7th at Alleycat la Virgen del Pedal
Did you start to realise that a bike is something more than a way of transport?
From the past two past years, I started to realise that the bike was my passion. Gradually I started
training and enjoying it more and more and nowadays I ride everywhere and I enjoy every single minute of it!
Do you remember your first fall?
At my early stages of riding fixed, I was trying skids at a high speed, and I got it crossed making me falling
and getting y arm burned up- Hard experience, but a good one!
Do you use other bike modality but fixed?
No, I just ride everywhere fixed
Brakes or brakeless?
NO BRAKES, NO RULES!
Criteriums or alleycats?
Alleycats! Although I am interested in trying Criteriums’s modality.
I find riding alleycats much more fun! It is just not about having strong legs, it is also about to know when to raise
speed, where to go, fix your objectives, find the best route available and avoid the traffic – and what it is more important
survive it to be able to tell it
