"The team will work together so that one of us can win the competition”

Tiago Ferreira will be one of the favorites to win the most special edition

In the tenth edition of the Andalucía Bike Race presented by Caja Rural Jaén, the most successful cyclist of the race could not be missed: Tiago Ferreira. The Portuguese will participate for the sixth time, accompanied by four more cyclists.

It faces this tenth edition as “good preparation for the rest of the season since, with the change of date to February, it makes it a tough competition at the beginning of the year,” explains Ferreira.

Besides, the entire DMT Racing Team arrives at the Andalusian event with good previous preparation. “The team will work together so that one of us can win the competition,” adds Ferreira.

So far, Tiago Ferreira has achieved in Andalucía results that are difficult to match. He has won three times (in 2016, along with Periklis Ilias, and in 2017 and 2018, alone) and also adds two second places in 2015 and 2019. In this edition, he also arrives as the current European MTB Marathon Champion (XCM).

With 36 stages played, he has seen everything but stresses that "the good times always stand out, even more, when I have won three times. It's an important achievement."

Tiago Ferreira, who has won most times in history this competition, advises that to finish and get a good result, it requires "a lot of work, commitment, a lot of sacrifices and a bit of luck," says Ferreira.

Since he was young, at only 16 years old, he was already riding a bicycle, and in 2008, when he was only 20 years old, he competed in his first MTB World Championship in the U23 category. XCM Portugal Champion on several occasions, XCM European Champion (2017 and 2019) and also XCM World Champion (2016), Tiago Ferreira stands again as one of the firm favorites to be on the podium in the tenth edition of the Andalucía Bike Race presented by Caja Rural Jaén.
