Rigoberto Urán surprised by one-legged cyclist: “These are the real example”

More than a week has passed since Rigoberto Urán finished his participation in the Tour of the Basque Country, in Spain, where he finished tenth in the overall standings. Since then, the Colombian cyclist traveled to Monaco, on the Mediterranean coast of France, because there he has an apartment where he has been seen sharing him with his family.

In addition, the 'Urrao Bull' was seen at the Masters 1000 in Monte Carlo, accompanying Colombian tennis players Juan Sebastián Cabal and Robert Farah. Recall that the national duo won the runner-up after falling 4-6, 6-3 and 7-10 in the final against the American Rajeev Ram and the British Joe Salisbury.

As usual, 'Rigo' shares very particular moments through social networks, either from family situations or occurrences that occur during their training sessions. This time, the Antioquian was delighted after meeting a cyclist with a disability on Italian roads last Sunday.

Urán published the video sharing with this runner, who, beyond just having one leg, showed great conditions in a promotion. Among some laughs, the Colombian spoke in Italian to communicate with this cyclist and left a reflection on his Instagram account: “For those of us who complain about bullshits, these are the real example”.

But the particular event did not end there, since, later, the 'Urrao Bull' released some recordings in his stories, showing the same athlete, but while he was training on a time trial bike. Far from being affected, the man was traveling about 35 kilometers per hour, as was found in the Uran potentiometer.

“What a god**ta daughter to surrender with a paw, ah. How about I had both? At 360 watts. Working the chrono, see. Let there be no shortage of 'chrono' jobs, boys”, commented the runner of the EF Education-Easypost team.

Through digital platforms, several users applauded the attitude of Rigoberto Urán and, especially, that of the cyclist with disabilities. “Admirable watering. Another point of view in this what life is, enjoying it to the fullest”; “that man is a lot of berraco, an example for those of us who complain so much”; “a champion of life, a big hug, worthy of admiration”, some of them wrote.

The main objective of the 'Urrao Bull' this season is the Tour de France, which will take place between July 1 and 24. However, and thinking of arriving in the best possible condition, it has several competitions scheduled, according to the specialized portal, 'Pro Cycling Stats'. First, he is expected to participate in the Walloon Arrow, to be held this Wednesday in Belgium.

Then the Colombian would compete in the Liege-Bastogne-Liege, one of the five monuments of cycling, on April 24. This month's competitions would end with the Tour de Romandy (Switzerland), which is scheduled to start on Wednesday, 26. The last race before the Tour de France would be the 2022 Occitanie Route (16-19 June).

The Colombian Daniel Felipe Martínez would also have a similar schedule of competitions, since, according to the aforementioned portal, he would face the Walloon Arrow, the Liège-Bastogne-Liège, the Tour de Romandie and, finally, the Tour de France. Remember that the Cundinamarque cyclist has just won the title in the Tour of the Basque Country, also winning the fourth stage.

The main concern this season will be whether or not Martinez is chosen as one of the 'queue kings' of INEOS Grenadiers to play the overall round of a grand round. It is a fact that the 25-year-old will not go to the Giro d'Italia, however, it will remain to know what the picture is in both the Tour and the Vuelta a España.
