Argentina national team coach Lionel Scaloni has demonstrated all his talent in a sport far removed from football
The coach Lionel Scaloni participated in the testMallorca 312 Ok Mobility’, a traditional event in the city that was attended by almost 10,000 cyclists and which was their second consecutive participation. Not bad for the top commander of the Argentina national team. After the dispute, he spoke about the moment and the medal received.
“Here you see me, dehydrated, but it was worth it. I did the same route as last year and more or less the same, same average, and happy to have finished“, said the coach after running the 167 kilometers. The native of Pujato, who currently lives in the city of Mallorcaneeded 5 hours, 8 minutes and 32 seconds to complete the race.
“The last few years helped 40 kilometers that I couldn’t take anymore, but it’s a pleasure. As there are no cars, we know the roads well when the cars are there it’s different. Here you can cut corners and enjoy the bike much better… It makes me feel good to talk, it gets better, it gets better. The year was quieter, they didn’t know me so much, but this year I enjoyed it more, really“, he said.
This was the thirteenth edition of the traditional race ‘Mallorca 312 Ok Mobility‘, which takes place on the city’s routes, and the second experience of the creator of the “Scaloneta”, which was crowned champion at the World Cup. He was also one of the 8,000 cyclists who took part in the competition. The race has three distances to cover: 167, 225 and 312 kilometers.
