The Quebrantahuesos for the first time?
The first time was six years ago, and I haven’t missed a race since. But I didn’t start out with the Quebrantahuesos, my first race was the Treparriscos. Phew! And that was a difficult one! I have great memories of it, I’ve never been so hot in all my life! But I just wanted to finish, and feel part of a race that’s so important in Spain, and share my love of the sport with all the other race fans.
Which bike did you start out with?
I had a Zeus. A great bike, but I’d been thinking of changing it for a long time, and after that race I went for it. I wanted a bike that suited what I was doing better - I'd had the Zeus for 10 years and I needed a new one. I couldn’t afford an Onix, which was my favourite, so I went for an Aqua. The next year I tried it out in the Quebrantahuesos.
What does the Aqua do for you?
Everything! It’s my escape route. I belong to the Bordeaux Cycling Club in France. We take part in the Quebrantahuesos every year, and in the Octogonal too. And we ride whenever we can. At weekends we get some serious cycling done, at least a hundred kilometres. The Aqua is very safe and reliable and I really like its shape.
What’s the next step for you?
Winning the Quebrantahuesos… (laughter). No… I just want to go on enjoying racing with an Onix. I’m an aluminium fan, and the Aqua is very smooth, but I wouldn’t mind trying a carbon bike. Would Orbea give me a free Onix?
