Vitolo: From the Green Turf to the Mountain Bike Challenge
Former Atlético de Madrid footballer, Vitolo, has found a new passion after retiring from professional football: Mountain Biking. Injuries cut short his career on the pitch, forcing him to hang up his boots in December after a final match in April 2023.
However, his competitive spirit remains intact and he has channeled it into new physical challenges. For the past four months, Vitolo has dedicated himself to Mountain Biking, making it his new obsession and a way to challenge himself.
He recently participated in the Transgrancanaria Bike, a demanding race that crosses the island of Gran Canaria. Despite his short experience in this sport, Vitolo dared to tackle two of the stages of the competition.
One of 45 kilometers and another of 70 kilometers with a tough climb to the Ayagaures ravine. With determination and effort, Vitolo managed to complete both stages, demonstrating his ability to overcome challenges and his tireless fighting spirit.
Each pedal stroke represented an act of will and a test of his tenacity. Although the race was tough, Vitolo, hardened in adversity, crossed the finish line victorious, adding a new personal achievement to his sporting career.
