Lionel Scaloni
is in a moment of prosperity.
The coach of the Argentine soccer team, world champion in Qatar 2022, added a new medal, but this time in cycling, a passion that has many followers such as Gabriela Sabatini
and Emanuel Ginóbili
, among other national sports stars who enjoy this activity.
The coach born in Pujato, Santa Fe, lives in Mallorca with his family and for the second consecutive year he participated in the Mallorca 312 Ok Mobility.
This time he chose the 167 kilometer
test
and completed it in
5 hours, 8 minutes and 32 seconds
.
"We know the roads well, and since there are no cars it is different, you can get in, cut the curves and enjoy riding the bike much better", analyzed the Argentine coach who has won three Major League titles after winning the Copa América in Brazil 2021, the Finalissima against Italy at Wembley and the last World Cup.
"It's a pleasure, really, it's a joy to be able to travel the island's roads closed to traffic with friends," said Scaloni after collecting his
'finisher'
medal
and who also highlighted "the great atmosphere that exists today in the island by everyone who is a fan of cycling”.
This is the 13th edition of the competition that takes place in Mallorca and for this year some 8,000 cyclists competed who could choose between the three distances to travel: 312 kilometers, 225 and 167, in which the Argentine DT decided to compete.
